Oddly enough, even without all the "advances in medicine" that we see now, or perhaps, because of it, it seems, from this author's perspective, that in the 19th century, people were more openly curious and protective of those with depression (at least in Lincoln's case) then they are now.

Or Lincoln either, for that matter.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-91589361682648425442008-10-10T14:51:00.000-04:002008-10-10T14:51:00.000-04:00ok, so weird... we were JUST talking about this at...ok, so weird... we were JUST talking about this at dinner last night about doug duncan's "dropping out" of the democratic primary for gov and how wrong it is that he should even set that example for others suffering from depression (not to mention he would have made a better gov, but that's beside the point ;)<BR/><BR/>can't wait to read this!!Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157822153104480152noreply@blogger.com
