I hadn't thought of it before, but after reading that article, I can say it rings a bell.  When you are in an up mood, don't colors seem a little brighter?  A little more vibrant?  When you are down, don't things really have a grey tinge?  


Turns out there's scientific evidence!


Perhaps the most significant part of this study is that they may work on a way to measure depression objectively.  Thats the best news of all.

Science, in all it's Glory

Oh yay my first post commenting on something I found on the Internet!  A milestone!

I am a firm believer that our hand-sanitized, rubber-gloved, lysoled society keeps beneficial bacteria out of our systems.  Look at the explosion of allergies and other environmental sensitivities in the last 10 years.  Certainly I think there is some validity to this article.


However.


I suspect the person who named the post isn't the same person who wrote it.  Cause folks, if you are like me, you are far from too clean, and only tidy up your home when someone else is about to see it.  Depressed people too clean?  I call, "no".
