Depressant Drug For The Annoyingly Cheerful

Leave it to The Onion (America's Finest News Source) to offer the perfect counterpoint to my previous post, where I expressed my concern for all the drugs that treat depression.

Here is a video from Onion News Network, reporting, "FDA Approves Depressant Drug For The Annoyingly Cheerful". Funny. Enjoy.

Drug ads on TV

There is a commercial which says that 2 out of 3 people being treated for depression still have symptoms.

Isn't that saying that for a majority of people -- 2 out of 3 -- the drugs they take for depression don't work?

Their solution? Take more drugs on top of the ones you're already taking... which aren't working.

Am I the only one who finds this slightly troubling? America, we have a problem.
