I keep getting headlines about hurricane Dean in my email in-box because of Google news alerts: "Dean Downgraded to Tropical Depression," for instance. And I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if the meteorological powers that be could do that for my mental health status? The headlines would read, "Spikol Downgraded to Temporary Depression; Danger Over by Wednesday." Then I'd know I could be back at work in a couple days and I wouldn't have to panic over whether my mental house would have its roof blown off.

Everytime I search for depression related news, specially from India, I get a similar bunch of articles about some depression in the Indian Ocean or the Bay of Bengal. It seems sometimes that that's the only kind of depression people there care about or I guess, want to talk about.
