"But for all the neurotics who may have felt a little blue one day and were unfairly diagnosed and overly medicated before they could even try to talk out their problems, I have some advice.  It's appropriate to be depressed sometimes.  Who wants to be 'even' day after day?  If you just killed three people in a DWI accident, you should feel bad.  If your whole family molested you in a giant basket on Easter morning, you have the right to be grumpy every once in a while.  But feeling down can make you feel up if you're the creative type.  The emotional damage may have already been done to you, but stop whining.  Use your insanity to get ahead."
