Welcome back to Psychblog, or Tea and Toast which has been resting over the summer examination period. We're hoping this year to host contributions from the whole school on psychological issues and debates which we will publish on the blog. One topic which has been mentioned to me by several girls is depression. I think we ought to be very clear about this topic - to be 'fed up' is a perfectly normal mood in everybody's life. Somehow society has created an expectation that we all ought to be happy all of the time this is just not possible - 'no sunshine without shadows' as my mum used to say. A clinical depression is very different and , fortunately, rare. All it needs to snap most people out of 'fed upness' is a kind word, a thoughtful deed, or a good laugh. Laughter is Dr.Brown's cure for the blues.. try it and see.
Please post comments on the school web site, what are your cures for the blues ?
