The "pill-popping" thing was a cheap-shot. Anyone familiar with the newer classes of anti-depressants knows you're not "popping pills" through the day, it's one pill daily. Dayton could easily be taking a rolaids or vitamins in the middle of the day, or like most people I know his age take something for cholesterol, high-blood pressure, etc.
After lunch I often take a couple vitamins and fish oil, I guess if I was having a meeting with Parry I'd have to excuse myself or he'd brand me as a mentally unfit pill-popper. 
QUOTE Perhaps Dayton is psyhcotic enough that he longs for despotism much like Obumbum...
So with your reaoning we could have a Govenor with schizophenia and it would be alright as long as he took his pills??
Depression is not being psychotic, nor is it comparable to schizophrenia.
QUOTE ^ Could be miss-diagnosed, could be bi-polar, could be alot of things, could be self-medicated.
Riigghht... I'd recommend the DSM-IV for a summary of all those things. Check it out and let me know how easy it is to confuse someone as being psychotic or schizophrenic versus depressed. 
QUOTE do we really want someone with that impairment making important decisions???
is it physical or is it more mental???
You're free to consider any issue you like at the ballot box. And Dayton's been pretty upfront about it. But this isn't about mental capacity or impairment, because it's not exactly like republicans are known for their mental capacity. 
Sarah Palin was clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, and Reagan spent much of his second term being so out of it mentally he didn't know what was going on much of the time. Important decisions in the administration were literally being made by Nancy's fortune-teller, and the conservatives still idolize them.
QUOTE maybe that job is more stress than he can handle.
Or maybe Dayton understands that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and is able to turn both to his advantage. I seem to recall seeing that somewhere.

Seriously?
YOU need to read the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual!!
A depression DX (diagnoses) is ambiguous.
Depression/ Major Depression frequently co-occurs with other psychiatric problems! Depressed people may have symptoms of psychosis including delusions and hallucinations!! Certain types of long-term drug use can both cause and worsen depressive sypmtoms. There are increased rates of drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. Depression is associated with many impairments including distorted information processing; cognitive impairments; impaired memory; psychotic episodes; disorientation; memory loss...and this does not even cover the physical impairments associated with depression!! The effectiveness of anti-psychotic drugs is questionable. So yea...depression IS a psychotic disorder and IS in the same class as schizophrenia!!
The guy had mental issues when you voted for him...and you chose to not let his mental incapacity be an issue...
PLUS...people do not pop blood pressure, cholesterol, or vitamin pills during meetings! Especially a govenor who would be advised as to the proper time to take such meds. by his medical team. Wouldnt suprise me if they were rolaids though as gastro. issues are a problem associated with depression.
The guy has had issues for years...its not something that just goes away because you voted for him.
Parry was right to question why he pops pills!!

My God, Santeria is an idiot.
People with depression can obviously have other mental problems, that doesn't mean everyone with depression has other mental problems.
