My comments below in response to Dan Hartung, about how depression although painful may be an adaptive response at times, have provoked a number of impassioned email responses both pro and con. For those interested in pursuing the issue further (re: depression, not antiwar thinking…), some of the links in this Google Search may be of value. Dan jotted me a note promising to reply to my comments; I’ve just checked in at lake effect again and I see he has done so.
