It's a theological rather than medical prescription. My doctorate is in theology not medicine.
Btw, one of my mentors at the Angelicum once said to me. Ice cream makes everything in life better.
Btw2, St Thomas said that if you're melancholic, take a hot bath.
I prefer the ice cream advice. Originally, I was going to recommend a Buckeye shake, milk, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and peanut butter.
Anyone else feel like we're either living in an insane asylum run by the ones who are there for insanity, or in an antechamber to Hell?
Go for a walk, saying the Rosary (in Latin if you can). After that pour some Bailey's over vanilla ice cream.
You'll feel better after that.
