Hi everybody, nice to meet you.

Sheep,
I have also found medical evidence that dehydration causes anxiety as well as host of other problems.

Here is a book written by a doctor who was able to cure patients while being held in a prison in Iran by having them drink water and consume sea salt:

I have been drinking Coconut water, which has a lot of minerals (potassium, Magnesium and others) for the past 3 days and I feel amazing.

This is what I am drinking:

And, here is a website discussing the benefits of coconut water:

And another discussing the impact of dehydration:

And, Finally -- an article that recommends drinking water as a treatment for depression. Minimum recommendation is 1/2 your body weight in pounds drank in ounces. So If you weigh 150, you would drink 125 ounces of water. Additional water is to be consumed if you exercise, live in a hot climate, or are taking medications that can dehydrate you.
