He did enjoy smoking tobacco, which contains nicotine. Read on to see why that might have helped w/ his depression.

Scientists have established that people prone to depression are twice as likely to be smokers, and are less likely to succeed in quitting smoking after taking up the habit, according to McClernon. The Duke study explored the theories behind the higher smoking rates among people experiencing depression.
"Smokers may be more prone to depression than nonsmokers," said Edward Levin, Ph.D., a professor of biological psychiatry and researcher at the Duke center, who was senior investigator in the current study. "Or, people with depression may be self-medicating by smoking, albeit in a deadly way."
In the study, the researchers recruited 11 people who did not smoke but who were experiencing symptoms of depression. Participants were randomly assigned to wear either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch that did not contain any nicotine. The researchers used a standardized method, a 20-item questionnaire called the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale, to measure depression symptoms among the study participants.
"Despite the small number of participants, this is the largest study of its kind," McClernon said.
The team found that participants who wore the nicotine patch for at least eight days experienced a significant decline in their depression-assessment rating scores. McClernon said this finding indicates that the drug led to an improvement in depression symptoms.
As a possible explanation for how nicotine exerts its beneficial effect, McClernon said: "The same areas of the brain that are stimulated by nicotine appear to be involved in the regulation of mood."
Nicotine stimulates the release of specific neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which carry messages between nerves cells. Depression has been linked to chemical imbalances of these neurotransmitters, McClernon said.
Albert Einstein's mother was Pauline Einstein, who was born as Pauline Koch. She was a housewife and mother to Albert and his sister Maja. Pauline had a significant influence on Albert's early education and upbringing.
What inspired you to pursue a career in physics? How did your theory of general relativity change our understanding of the universe? What advice do you have for aspiring scientists and researchers? What prompted you to speak out on social and political issues?
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany. He was a theoretical physicist.
No, Louis Pasteur and Albert Einstein did not meet. Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist who lived in the 19th century, while Albert Einstein was a physicist who lived in the 20th century. Their work and contributions to science were in different fields and eras.
The theorizer of relativity would be Albert Einstein. Einstein's theory of relativity consisted of special relativity and general relativity. It has to do with relative measurements of quantities to observes, like space contracts and time dilates. Space time was a concept of relativity. The speed of lights invariance was also a part of the theory.
no
There was alot of great depression
the great depression
He imagined a great deal and put his imagination to work
Albert Einstein Einstein had no middle name.
He knew a great deal about space.
Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard Einstein Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard Einstein maybe twins
The most known Einstein is Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein had Brown Eyes
Albert Einstein had a daughter named Lieserl Einstein, and two sons named Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard Einstein
Albert Einstein's "real" name was Albert Einstein. He had no other name.
No the sons of Albert Einstein are: Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard. They also had a daughter named Lieserl (Her real name is unknown but love letters to Einstein's wife Maric from Einstein call her Lieserl)
