He is eating sunflower seeds coated with cayenne pepper laced oil.

It has been suggested my kids go as this painting for Halloween.
 
I think it works.

I really like what she has to say here. I think I deal with a case of depressed mom attempting to sort out risk/benefits of meds/breastfeeding at least once a week. Sadly as I am the baby's nurse and not the mom's I am severely limited in making recommendations that may conflict with recommendations from others that she take meds. Don't get me wrong, post partum depression is real, meds help, babies with depressed mothers do poorly, etc.. It's all true. BUT, can we at least try a bit of exercise and some sunshine therapy, or WOW, maybe some talk therapy? Many of the moms I know on meds are prescribed by their PCP, not a therapist.

Rant done.
