Not sure how to evaluate this.

Was poking around the web staring at diagnostic criteria for depression and poked at a trivial self-test thing (these things are useless, but I thought I'd give it a poke).

The damn thing needs to be copyedited without mercy. It popped up "Severe Depression" as a diagnosis. I pop up "Written By A Fucking Illiterate" as a diagnosis.

I'm all depression, all the time lately. Trust me, I'm even more boring in my own head.

(The Beck's inventory I came across pegs me at 'Moderate'. Unfortunately, my answers to approximately everything were between numbers, and I don't know which way the rounding error goes. Same basic test as the illiterate one, slightly different wordings.)

*pats you uselessly*

Try to get yourself some help. The medical folk who prescribe herbs, acupuncturists, and the like as well as Technocratic medicine sound good. St John's Wort can be fantastic, but it is a drug, just a natural one. And it can interfere with some other drugs, and be really harmful for some people - as well as not at all useful at the wrong dose.

I've never noticed SJW doing anything for me, so I haven't even toyed with it for ~7 years.
