Why does this need a service? Isn't the only thing that needs to be accomplished to auto-mail you every day "Whats up?" from [email protected]?

Then you just reply and have your diary in that inbox?

Sorry, but none of these are studies about the relationship between depression and inflammation treatment.

Such a study would have to provide a measurement of the severity of the depression. Then split the patients in two groups. Give one group a placebo and the other one the inflammation treatment. And then compare the depression severity in those groups after the treatment.

Hmm.. that seems like a journalistic article that one would have to pay $41.95 for to read it?

I would be more interested in a study. With clearly outlined methology.

    "clinical depression" vs. the run of the
    mill use of "depression"

This is exactly what I am interested in. If it is a qualitative difference or a quantitative.

If qualitative, it would be like a broken leg.

If quantitative it would be like high blood pressure.

I would be very interested if there is any research out there on this topic.

    Depression has plenty of evidence
    linking it to inflammation

That would be interesting. What makes you think so? Any studies you can link to?

What cures it?

So has it been studied? Are there popular theories on what the mechanics behind depression are? I would be curious to know these.

Both, headaches and depression to me seem to have been "intentionally" developed by evolution. Pain has a reason: Tell you to not do certain things. Low energy / self esteem might also have a reason: Tell you to stay at home.

A broken leg on the other hand was not developed for a reason by evolution.

I often wonder if Depression really is a "disorder" that you either have or don't have. And that can be "cured".

Unlike having a broken leg or having the flu, depression seems to be something everybody has to a certain degree.

Is there any research on this available?
