...understand the difficulty of being depressed at Harvard. In the National Health Assessment survey of Harvard students, 40 percent of participating Harvard undergraduates (over 2,000) agree with the following: “At some point the past year, I have been too depressed to function.” On average, that amounts to two friends in your blocking group, or five people in your section. Further, eight percent of all students said they felt that way 11 or more times in a year. Finally, depression is only one of the many mental health problems any community faces, especially...
...time and energy that is hard to schedule in between sections and summer job applications. However, with 45 percent of college students reporting in a survey conducted by the American College Health Association that they have felt so depressed at some point during college as to be unable to function, putting healthy minds and spirits as priority on campus is an imperative. Of course, the University’s policies and resources regarding mental health issues can perpetually be improved, but to make an effective impact on campus mental health students must make their own and their peers?...
...rest of the cast is uniformly good. But with the exception of the excellent Malone, most of the actors end up portraying emotions in tableaux that are non-naturalistic to the point of being a little distancing.

Clearly, he adds, you don't have to remember your dreams for these processes to work. "The brain is tuning your memory circuits as you sleep, and remembering the imagery created during this process...
...Psychotherapists tend to regard a lot of the research into dreaming as missing the point. Scientists, they say, can theorize all they like about dreaming's function and physiological underpinnings, but why dreams matter is their effect on the dreamer. The man contemplating an extramarital affair dreams of the dire consequences of having one. He awakens to feel not only exquisite relief that he was dreaming but determined to walk the line. If, as Solms believes, dreams spring from the motivational part of our brain at a time when other parts that inhibit us are off-line, "it follows that...
