>> Study Finds Patients' Suicide Requests Lowered After Depression Treatment

Other known successful treatments include a good night's sleep, finally breaking 100 in golf or 200 in bowling, or having your mother-in-law leave after living with you for six months.

P.S. One beer will cure an anxiety attack.

Bummer! Thanks a lot for reminding me! Now I am really down, may go outside and step on a bug just out of meanness and frustration.

"One beer will cure an anxiety attack."

I assume you are trying to be funny here, but as a recovering alcoholic who suffers terribly from a clinical anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I don't find this remark humorous at all. One beer does not "cure" my anxiety. I should know; I spent 25 years or so trying that particular "cure" over and over again. Perhaps you did not mean to be offensive, or perhaps you simply don't know any better, but ridiculing mental illness is no less offensive than ridiculing any other disability. From what I have read on this thread, I would have expected better.
