   I don't remember the name but one of the recurring Netflix ads is for a   
   drug that you stack on top of your current anti-depression drugs if you're   
   still depressed. Better living through chemistry. I think that's the one   
   that at the end of the list of side effects that include permanent   
   uncontrollable muscle movement appends 'and these aren't all of the side   
   effects'.   
      
   I may be experiencing depression with a lack of motivation to go outside.   
   Or it may be the 14°F.  The cat is curled up in front of one of the heat   
   registers with her fur blowing in the breeze. I expect some resistance   
   from her if I suggest going out too.
