|author=Nick Weatherhogg
|title=Living With Depression
|rating=4
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary=Nick Weatherhogg has been diagnosed as suffering from severe depression. Many of you will be nodding wisely and thinking that you know how he feels: but there are two points he wants to make here. You ''don't'' know how he feels. This is ''his'' depression and only he knows what it feels like - if he's able to think or express how he's feeling. The other point is that there's a big difference between ''feeling'' depressed and ''being'' depressed - ''fepression'' and ''bepression'' as he terms them. He's right: I've been there. My feelings, my experience will have been different, but I do know that it was hellish. He describes the experience as ''a mental state in which your brain regularly and consistently lies to you.''

|summary=Give a person a book and you might change their day. Give the right person the right book and you might change their life. That is the philosophy of The Major, the father of the nearest thing Fox Mulder has to a best schoolmate. He may well appear to be a wacky – some could even go as far as saying Spooky – conspiracy nut, with some novel manner in home security, but he certainly swears that the truth to his wife's death, and so much more, is either out there, or in the pages of a Michael Moorcock fantasy novel. It's a situation not a million miles away from that which Fox finds himself in, for he is eternally frustrated at the lack of effort he sees in the search for his own baby sister. But before he can settle back with his new read, and before The Major can really prove himself formative, Fox gets rapt in new, local cases of child kidnap, that even though he and his father moved state recently, have a galling familiarity…
