in many cases, depression is a mental disorder, not just the opposite of happiness. It's often caused by easily correctable physiological problems. In these cases, it makes sense to correct the underlying factors. In addition, a huge percentage of college students report being depressed. I still disagree with monitoring peoples internet activity, but for privacy reasons, not the reasons you mentioned.

- philwelch 14y agoSure, just look at the selectively published research that drug companies use to market antidepressants.
- zaptheimpaler 14y agoYou can just look at the non-psychiatric section of causes of depression on wikipedia -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood).
