"Lacking my Joie de Vivre..."

I was just informed by my anthropology professor that I could cure my depression if I just exercised more. I am so mad I can't see.

...is this the same anthro prof who was already needing to be complained about for attitudes, or was that someone else's anthro prof? Cause either way, stone cold bitch. Isn't it obvious that if there was such a simple solution, your doctors might have mentioned it?

No, that was kind of mine. Also, I think her feeling is that everyone wants to be on meds and doctors just support it.

Aha! Then it all fits - because if she admits that some people need the benefits of this society in order to have happy lives, then that other society she idolises isn't Teh Bestest across the board, I guess...

(Because, of course, everyone loves side-effects, and hippo-what-was-that-anyway?)

Apparently doctors just exist to give people fashionable medicines so they can feel their neuroses. Or something.
