I was busy with taxes and got depressed.Exactly. Being depressed isn't like having a broken leg. It could simply be a very healthy response to an unhealthy situation. Who are these guys to say that your or my reaction to a particular situation is somehow inappropriate?

Who are these guys to say that your or my reaction to a particular situation is somehow inappropriate? but... our culture sez that there's a cure for everything!! god forbid that we actually CHANGE OUR HABITS, or LIVE BETTER LIVES..

Who are these guys to say that your or my reaction to a particular situation is somehow inappropriate? Look at the scoring method. Someone who has trouble sleeping and concentrating on the television is diagnosed as having "mild depression".
What a crock of BS. This means more money for doctors and the pharmacutical companies, and the politicians who funnel money their way.
Whoever dreamed this up needs to lose their medical license, and be investigated for fraud.

Much wisdom in your statement. My guess is that the drug companies (for Prozac, etc...) are all looking forward to this new testing. The scary part about it all is I'm sure there will be some doctors who will have patients take this test and then prescribe them anti-depressants - without proper counseling - and in some cases for reasons that shouldn't require long-term medication....

Do you know how much money is in it for them to say you got a problem?
