MARRIAGE MAKES HAPPY PEOPLE SLIGHTLY HAPPIER. . . BUT MAKES DEPRESSED PEOPLE ECSTATIC

If you're depressed, here's some advice: Instead of getting yourself on some antidepressant that's going to turn you into an unstable, emotionless zombie. . . work on getting yourself some DATES.

According to a study at Ohio State University in Columbus, one of the best ways to beat depression is to find yourself a HUSBAND or WIFE.Sociologists at OSU found that, after five years of marriage, depressed people's scores on a depression assessment test dropped by around 10%. . . which is considered a VERY significant drop. And it didn't even matter if the marriage was GOOD. . . even depressed people who said their marriages were "so-so" had the same average increases in their happiness.

There's more good news: If a depressed person marries a happy person. . . they don't drag that person down with them.But. . . happy people get a much smaller increase in their happiness when they get married. After five years, their scores on the depression assessment test only dropped by 2%. (LiveScience)
