Bloggers beware! Professors of Ben-Gurion University in Israel have developed a program that identifies depressed people by analyzing their blogs.
The software looks at words, images, metaphors, and phrases that are used, then computes the results with a highly complex algorithm. A trial run has already shown an 80% match with actual psychologists' diagnoses.
Scientists want to use this method to systematically seek out the sad saps and send them to shrinks! Watch what you type! Your blog could be next!
