MELANCHOLIA
Melancholia is another word for "depression."  This page contains some insights that many find helpful.  I'm not a shrink, preacher, or Scientologist, so fear not.  Enjoy the fruit of my experience.

A note about Tom Cruise and Scientology.  Tom Cruise is an idiot and Scientology a crackpot cult invented by a bad sci-fi writer called L. Ron Hubbard.  Hubbard was, among other things-- none of them good-- a guy who spent an enormous amount of time writing letters to the FBI, obsessed with the notion that commies and Nazis were coming to kill him.  He didn't like psychiatry because he was terrified of anything with the potential to reveal how totally deranged he actually was, posessed no formal training in any field, and excelled at nothing other than writing a load of dog-assed crap called "Dianetics." Ergo and in my humble opinion, nothing Mr Cruise has to say about mental illness has any more relevance than what any other uninformed blowhard has to say. Just because he often plays fairly bright people in the movies, does not mean he is himself, bright. In fact, I would argue just the opposite. 
Great Literature and Depression: this piece is moderately smart-assed.  By "moderately" I'm thinking, on a scale of one to ten, ten being the most, and one totally earnest, this is a six point five.  But it might make you feel better.
