Chocolate Therapy

I ate Ben & Jerry's chocolate therapy ice cream the other night, and all my psychological problems disappeared. But chocolate therapy is not the answer to everyone's problems.

NASA and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute are working on a $1.74 million "Virtual Space Station" that is supposed to help astronauts through depression while they are away on missions. The Virtual Space Station is a computer program that uses video recordings to guide astronauts through depression by using a therapy called "problem-solving treatment." Trials are set to start next month in Boston.
