"Just because a doctor says something doesn't mean it's christened like the Holy Spirit dictating the Bible," I say to my mother in frustration over the droll announcement that if I just gave up coffee, I would be suicidal ideation-free.
"I'm just saying to open up your mind to other possibilities. Maybe there's new research linking the two," my mother comments.
"No, Mom," I respond. "We know there's a link between caffeine and anxiety. That maybe caffeine contributes to anxiety, but some people feel the effects if they drink a little and some don't--so it's just better to give it up completely."
