Scott, thanks for that.
I found this quote interesting:
"a recent study sponsored by the World Health Organization and the World Bank found unipolar major depression to be the leading cause of disability in the United States and worldwide. "
You'd never guess this from media coverage. You'd think it was alzheimers, heart disease, or aids. As always, depression gets swept under the rug.
As I write this, the presidential election coverage is going on. I hope Gore wins because I think he is sensitive to mental health concerns due to his wife's brush with depression.
