I did fine when I worked in London, was on lithium and I drove just fine, even if it was on the wrong side of the road. (just kidding). A bad driver is a bad driver. I don't believe an anti-depressant has anything to do with it. Now, if it was drinking and driving. As for My big breasts an me.... It must be sweeps week across the pond...Either that or the BBC just bought stock in Victoria Secret and Anne Summers..... I don’t know.

Would that not indicate a link between drugs and poor driving, not depression and poor driving??? I'm not talking causation, just correlation. UNLESS... the drugs don't really help the depression all that much. If you're going to link the depression to the driving in the high-dose group you'd almost have to acknowledge the fact that the drugs aren't doing much. And you are soooo correct, Liz. That's a totally bogus headline. Okay, let me get this straight:

What now, the DMV will revoke our driver's licence because we take an AD? I hope they don't base their decision based on such a weak study. Ugh!

The teenage boy who lives in me will always perk up like a Pavlov's dog at the mention of big breasts. I went to the link for the show and noticed there was also a program on small breasts called "my small breasts and I". I was wondering since you're linquistically inclined maybe you can answer as to why the difference for "my big breasts and ME" vs, "my small breasts and I". The ME vs. the I. Clue me in. THis is very important. And also, are you aware of any clinical studies of the effects of large breasts on depression? Thanks a lot, David Hey Liz, thanks for the tip re: My Big Breasts and Me.
