Depression Mind Map
Got a weird assignment at work today. Had to write a postcard for people who treat depression. So, you're not really selling anything to people who are depressed, you're selling something to people who know about depression. Or want to know more. Or something.
Regardless, I was really stuck. One of the things about being a "create on demand" professional is that you have to have little tricks to get your creative mojo cooking. I like to do mind maps. Especially to songs I love. So a mind-map on Depression Treatment: Rilo Kiley's "Better Son/Daughter" yields the following results:

I came across an interesting twist on mind maps just a few days ago - not following a logical breakdown of a topic as you move down the branch, but free associating.
Whilst not about depression exactly, one example was a "Flip It" mind map by Paul Foreman, about "stopping any train of thought that leads to negativity". It's here:

Clinical depression is not going to be cured or even helped by something like this, of course, but many people who say they are depressed are unhappy, not clinically depressed. Maybe Paul's mind map would help some.
