Product Description:

Optimism gives you a platform for actively learning about your depression. As you monitor the patterns in your life you can begin to see the various factors, internal and external, that impact your health. Simple charts highlight cause and effect relationships that would normally be missed. This knowledge equips you to take control and be active in maintaining good mental health.

SERBIAN--2008 (MPEG2Works.com)

Great application for what its made for...I think there is a bit misunderstanding about this app..It is not made for curing the depression, but to helps to spot the possible problems during therapy or to recognize the triggers which leads to depression...The exact the same "task" has been given to my wife by her doctor during therapy, but on papers - one paper for each day...With this app is much easier to keep things organized and to track the possible unwanted triggers than with tons of papers all around...Also the reports for the doctor looks much better now, printed or presented with the wife's Power Book 17".

No complaints here. I think some of the negative reviewers should give Optimism OS X a bit more of a try. Might help them to manage their negativity. :-)
