Submission

An hour ago, I submitted an op-ed to the New York Times in response to Andrew Solomon's op-ed on depression centers, which was published in the Times on November 17. I was kind to Solomon in what I wrote, but did openly question whether federally-funded centers can improve the workplace discrimination that the mentally-ill routinely bump up against and whether whatever research advances might come from these proposed centers can do much to fix the lives of the average person with mental illness in the next 10 to 20 years.

It'll be interesting to see if the paper of record bites on my submission. I expect them not to.
