This is one of those articles that I do wish I have not written.  Although my intention was good, by science was not.  I alluded to the fact that depression was simply a personal choice, and was completely within one's own control.  In fact, every time I hear anti-gay activists insist that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice", I cringe reflecting on my own egregious error.  To all those whom I insulted, I am sincerely sorry.

I have since rewritten the article around the idea that our moods are generally a reflection of our inner thoughts, and we can avoid bad moods by choosing what we focus on.  The new article is entitled "Brighten Up, Sunshine!"
