It has been proved that there is a close link between pain and depression: longterm of either causes the other. This article touches on that:
Harvard ArticleWow, we need some smarty-pants Harvard kids to tell us that!
Don't mind me, I was the teenager in the back of the room who was laughing in junior high when they used to show us those science films on a 16mm projector. They always had some guy with a white lab coat going to great lengths to "prove" something that seemed completely obvious already
Later when I was at film school, and in one class, we were required to make three short silent films. I had finished one three minute one, and one 22 minute film WITH sound, and I thought for sure my teacher would accept the long film as two assignments.
When he didn't, I quickly made a third film called "Effects Of Hammer On Human Development"
This was my "scientypical" film parody, complete with gerbil cages, charts and graphs, truly awful warbly music and a deep-voiced over-the top narrator, saying things like "Science marches on!"
Needless to say, it was controversial, while half the class was laughing quite a bit, a few others were upset, and I had to explain, that no, what I had done was borrow some baby dolls from one of my sisters, I did not actually put real human babies in those little gerbil cages!
