It's the most de-press-ing-time....of the year

According to a U.K. psychologist, Jan. 24 is the “most depressing day of the year.”

The guy put together the following formula, generating a misery index which reaches its zenith on the 24th.

The model is: [W + (D-d)] x TQ / M x NA

Where (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action.

Up to a third of the population in Britain suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) also known as winter depression. :(.....
