Glad I don't suffer with depression, but I'm sure I've had more than my share of BPA exposure in my days since I'm over 60. I do try to buy things that don't have BPA anymore.

BPA free does not equal safe. If it's BPA free you're just trading a known poison for an unknown poison. The plastics companies have to use some type of phthalate, whether it's BPA or something else. I try to avoid plastic completely.
