[QUOTE=tinhead50;34645947]This is nice and all, but at some point, you need to ask "how far is to far" when it comes to learning about an individual, or even going so far as to intervene in their life without permission. I'm glad someone is taking the time to create this kind of technology, but at the same time, I worry for where it may take us.[/QUOTE] 1984
What if when you get the phone you're a really miserable person, and you happen to come out of your misery shortly after obtaining the phone?

[QUOTE=acds;34650191]That only means the people ignoring the depression symptoms have depression, not that they have been diagnosed with it by a professional.[/QUOTE] You think the patients in a depression treatment trial at a known medical university would not be people diagnosed with depression?

Isn't that what the price tag is for?

I could actually use this since I have had chronic depression for quite a while and I'm trying to deal with it. A little bit of assistance would be nice. I would have never guessed that I had depression, normal doctors didn't, but it was really obvious to anyone in mental health. I guess I have a less obvious kind.

[QUOTE=acds;34649167]depression, it's just a bad day.[/QUOTE] Haha oh man Clearly this guy has no fucking idea what major clinical depression is and how it affects you
