Andrew Solomon: Depression, the secret we share

I am not depressive and do not personally know any depressive person, but I found this Ted talk extremely informative. It explains very well what depression is and helps identifying it and its impacts.

I recommend watching this. Whether you suffer from depression or not.

Never enough TED talks. Ever.

You're joking right?

Granted, they still have epic talks from time to time but compare this year to what it was say five years ago. So much gibberish, pseudo artistic ranting and talks about literaly nothing. Back in the day there was at least one major league talk per week. Now even the entertainment side is falling to pieces.
The only reason I am still subscribed is hope that one of those days there will be another David Deutch talking about our place in the universe or something of that caliber.

i hate these talks, especially when im browsing wimp.com, so many of these on there...i'd rather hold my breath for the length of one of these than watch it..

Well I wouldn't go THAT far, but you got a point. Sometimes a brilliant one happens (I haven't seen the one OP mentions yet) but that's a needle in a haystack silo. BTW you use the hell out of that phone lol, I'd never be able to browse forums this extensively on a tiny screen.

Yep, i tend to derail threads.. a lot

and im pretty sure if someone were to check both our post histories, they would find that every single thread in which we both posted was derailed and/or was killed :D (high five)

That's what I'm saying haha, high five. Thank gods it's offtopic and worse things happen here on a daily basis.

I agree with john on this, TeD was a good source of information, a few years ago. It's stil entertaining but that's about it.

I watched it this morning and thought it was pretty decent. Can't comment on their track record as I've not watched anything in their channel previously but at the very least this one didn't feel like a waste of time.
