That's a good example of the kind of naive outlook I was ranting against. Hugs don't save lives.

i never suggested that hugs save lives but rather that there is value in such a story beyond "saving lives." Also, I'd wager that more than once a hug has actually saved a life. In no way am I diminishing the seriousness of clinical depression but I'm also not willing to suggest that this article or others like it are completely vapid.
