DIAGNOSIS TIME

The New York Times reports:

Doctors in New York City have begun to use a simple questionnaire to determine if a patient is at risk for depression ...

Sample quiz:

* Did you vote for John Kerry?
* Did you serve with John Kerry?
* Have you ever been married to John Kerry?
* Are you John Kerry?

That should cover it.

  5. There is no magic wand. No one person is going to stand up and suddenly say it’s going to change tomorrow. You have to do that.

    Sound advice for the depressed from John Kerry.  It doesn’t literally make sense owing to a lack of antecedent for that but it’s good enough for most.

    It’s from his forthcoming book Thoughts for Little People .
