Depressing News For A Gray Day
Feeling a little blue right now? Well, cheer up. Or else.
Alzheimer's is a fatal brain disorder marked by memory loss and an inability to function in daily life. Researchers have long known that depression and Alzheimer's disease are linked, but it wasn't clear whether depression was a risk factor for Alzheimer's or a symptom of the disease. Now, two studies published in the July 6 issue of the journal Neurology conclude that depression is indeed separate from Alzheimer's and that depressive symptoms can raise the risk of dementia by 50 percent.
This bummer of a report follows the news that people with depression really do see the world as more gray than the joyful bastards who go through life singing a happy tune, blissfully ignorant of the sorrows all around them. God. Why is everything so awful? I guess the BEST I can hope for now is the possibility that I will eventually forget it all. Nah, not making me any happier. Basically my future will involve watching The Sorrow and the Pity over and over, never remembering I've seen it before. Gah.

There's an Alzheimer's Services van that drives up and down my street. Its bratty motto: "Life is a journey we know by heart." This article makes me think it's probably just trying to drum up business.
