Science: Health: Depression
Cathartic Antidepressant   (+8, -30)  [vote for, against]
to treat mild but persistent depression

A drug that will induce intense feelings of melancholy, desperation, and grief. The drug wears off after 2 hours, leaving the patient feeling paradoxically refreshed and at peace.

This is a phenomenally stupid idea.

[kinemojo], the point here is that any society that has an institution such as this is a sick society.

Apparently a sense of humour has left the room.

Why not televise it? Allow spectator betting? A no-holds-barred version where they are locked in a room for three days and all the pills MUST be eaten?

Even the addition of jam and bees won't help this one.

//3019 or 3020: Arwen and Aragorn marry in Midsummer. They reign for many years and he dies in the 102nd year of his reign and 190th year of his life.\\

Did a quick search and this is all I came up with. Aragorn decides to die and dies by the power of his will, stops his heart and breath with willpower.

How about a party where you serve cheese, red wine, and MAOI's ? Leave bowls of razor blades and prescription sedatives around the room, and make sure the party takes place on the top floor of a tall building with balconies.

I thought this might be cathartic in the original sense of purgative.

Hey, I ain't gonna have no doctor shove a tube up my peehole, and it's certainly not likely to cheer me up.

Purgatory...who said anything about going to hell?
