My headache was mostly gone when I got up this morning. Mostly.

Today's psychology short: depression is bad, women suffer from it at a rate 2x that of men (except in developing nations, where the ratio is a more-civilized 1:1), and depression as a whole has increased in every generation since WWII.

Women will find that depression lessoning when they get back to raising their family full time and being home when the kids get off the bus. Now what to do about those false and deceiving cultural trends and expectations...

Actually, researchers have tested whether homemakers are more depressed than working women. As it turns out, it doesn't make a difference: women (in both conditions) are still 2x more depressed than men.
