I was treated for depression with cognitive behavior therapy and it revolutionized my life. It changed my fundamentally flawed assumptions I had made during adolescence (a terrible time to be forming lasting impressions) and learned to circumvent cyclical reasoning caused by faulty reasoning about feelings. My first reaction when it clicked was "why isn't everyone taught this sooner?" it would literally save lifetimes of wasted energy spent dwelling on regrets that are merely phantoms. What do you think would be some advantages and challenges to introducing some of these basic mental "housekeeping" tools to adolescents in school or by other means? Do you think this or other techniques would be a broad based means to help teens suffering from depression or pent up aggression/violence?

and your Columbo! Pepperidge farm remembers..

lots of "fun" questions here, but what about sterilization? MRSA and other "superbug" bacteria are cultivated in hospitals, what steps are being taken to clean rooms of these? I've heard of new technologies involving deep UV irradiation or ozonation. What are your standard procedures for disinfecting? Are they always followed strictly? Do you test for how effective the methods are? Are you ever worried you'll contract something untreatable by constantly being exposed?
