Scientist Stephen Petranek speaks at TED saying (among other things) that clinical depression affects one in five world wide, and proposes that dealing with this issue is 10th most important in a list of 10 things that could end the world as we know it. A wee bit apocalyptic but...something to think about.
What bothers me is that he characterizes depression as a treatable disease - treatable with talk therapy and drugs yet to be created.
What do you think about current modalities of treatment? I don't think either - even together - do much good.
