Depresso and espresso
I took this picture at a cafe I frequent a few days ago. They're trying to indicate that an espresso can assist with your depression (depresso as they call it to make it rhyme conveniently with espresso).
I'm not sure if an espresso can indeed assist with depression although millions around the world seem to feel it can considering the amount of coffee's purchased in a day.
Coffee has been linked to slavery and child labour and supply often comes from countries which under-regulate pesticide and chemical usage during the growing process. Fair-trade coffee can be purchased however I don't really think the vast majority care. They just consume the product with little interest in where it came from and who produced it.
About 10 million tons of coffee are consumed around the world each year which is a lot of coffee. If it actually does help with depression as the proprietors of the cafe indicate I wonder why there's so many depressed people around the world.
Because depression is kewl, mkay?
A book I read recently - So Much for That by Lionel Shriver - observed that meds (for depression and a wide array of other issues- are like smartphones for the younger generation. Must-have.
Yes, depression seems to be one of the in things these days. Depression being the fashionable thing makes it more difficult for those who are genuinely afflicted to be taken seriously don't you think?

Some people wear their negativity like a cloak because it seems easier than dealing with the root causes.
