Have you seen the commercials for the anti-depression drug Cymbalta? For some reason these commercials always make me laugh. They start out the commercials with a downtrodden tune that is probably the inner monologue for a person suffering from depression. If it wasn't, I imagine it is after they see the commercial. The questions are what get me laughing. They ask questions about how you feel about doing things when you are depressed and then they answer them. Several weeks ago I started answering the questions aloud in the saddest, most hopeless voice I could muster. The commercial usually asks three questions.
When you're depressed......
- where do you want to go? Nowhere
- who do you feel like seeing? No one
- what do you feel like doing? Nothing
Did you read the questions out loud? Did you use a sad voice when you answered them? Did it make you laugh? I hope so. If not, what's wrong with you. "
Nothing." I thought so, Cymbalta can help.
