The BMJ just published an article saying that if you take people with mild to moderate depression, fly them to an exotic tropical resort and let them pet dolphins, they will improve...
Duh...mild to moderate depression has a high rate of spontaneous resolution (translated: people get down sometimes, but most get over it without treatment). Or as one commenter dryly remarked: "paper shows that single depressed women who want to try swimming with dolphins as therapy, actually feel less depressed if they are allowed to do this than if they are disapointed by being allocated to a control group." ...anther remarked: Douglas Adams was right...
Wonder if a kitten would be more cost effective?
Douglas Adams call your office
