Hopefully there's been an upsurge in requests for mental health care in the past few days -- that, at least, would something to feel good about.

If a story I found for my New Jersey health blog is any indication:

The average number of daily calls to NJ Hopeline (1-855-654-6735) is 63, but the death of comedian and actor Robin Williams has pushed the number closer to 100 daily.
