Secrets of Schizophrenia and Depression "Unlocked" 334
Oracle Goddess writes "According to the US National Institute for Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, scientists have discovered a remarkable similarity between the genetic faults behind both schizophrenia and manic depression in a breakthrough that is expected to open the way to new treatments for two of the most common mental illnesses, affecting millions of people. Previously schizophrenia and depression were assumed to be two separate conditions, but the new research shows for the first time that both have a common genetic basis that leads people to develop one or the other of the two illnesses."

If you are truly paranoid though, you extract your own tin and make it into foil then fold the foil into hats. Its the only way to be sure.
No, the only way to be sure is to nuke the site from orbit. Yours is a distant second, though.
