So my fish are still alive!!! Haha. While composing my super secret blog of the day, I found this interesting article about parasocial relationships. It discusses how psychologists believe that depression patients can be assisted through parasocial relationships with TV characters. The characters on the shows allow for a relationship to be established for the depressed patient. I find this idea pretty disturbing, it is as if real person to person relationships are no longer needed!! Read the article and let me know what you think!!!
