You don't think it's evident people smile to make others feel more comfortable? (Sounds like a question in an Autism checklist) And on the other side of the coin: You don't find it rather ironic that you discount experiential

By depression, I assume you mean sadness? Existential angst? Because if someone found smiling could curtail depression I'm sure they'd win the Nobel prize. I thing it's evident that smiling can make a ratty external situation

Unless you use hefty shot/cal, shooting yourself in the head has no guarantees. Many people shift aim at the last second and blow portions of their heads off and still survive. Also, think about the poor sod who has to clean up your bo

5 mins to hurl something down your throat, and hired help for everything else. Everything. Else. Also stimulants. Lots of stimulants -- and blood transfusions.

It was not a condition of the 'AMA' to ask how the study was done. As someone with depression, I feel berating these people, not for the results, but for the subject matter, to be completely founded. You may certainly question my

They don't pay their employees though -- if you count the people who generate the actual content as employees. Nor do they pay the academics who do the actual peer review . They pay editorial staff and tech dudes. I guess a metric s

None of the examples actually save you any work/task completion. They line up more work/things to monitor/read/process and set you up for overload.

Wow. If only people knew. Just get a better job and save for four years. Goes back to my original point, doesn't it? You are essentially agreeing with me, because these are the exact measures most must go through -- only things don&#x2

For ten hours I could read a Song of Ice and Fire, which the author took a shit-ton of years to write, and which is still being written. One of those books will cost me 7.45 on a kindle. I could easily get ten hours for the fraction of the

Reiteration: Meditation can be catastrophic for people with depression. There is a reason any meditation retreat will reject you if you answer 'yes' to currently going through depression. Empty your mind, empty your feelings? Ummm

Everyone has the right to share opinions. Unfortunately the diagnosis of depression has been down to opinion also. Not an opinion informed by understanding, but by criteria of a disease no one yet fully understands, concocted by a bunch of
