Another article on depression

from the NY Times.

It's a pretty theory:

The alternative, of course, is that depression has a secret purpose and our medical interventions are making a bad situation even worse. Like a fever that helps the immune system fight off infection — increased body temperature sends white blood cells into overdrive — depression might be an unpleasant yet adaptive response to affliction.


But it doesn't address the overwhelming grays and perhaps more serious sufferers of depression.
