Question by Mr. Gumbo: Has there ever been someone who wasnt depressed?
Because everyone is depressed. I just want to know if there was some king that got whatever he wanted and was never sad or depressed. Probably not but do you guys have any link to a guy that was supposedly “never depressed”?

Answer by .ApS.
Not exactly what you were talking about but Angelman Syndrome is a genetic dissorder that fits what you were talking about.
“Children with Angelman syndrome have a happy demeanor, laughing frequently and flapping their hands when excited. Dr. Harry Angelman described three cases in 1965, calling the children ‘puppet children’ because of their stiff, jerky gait, absent speech and excessive laughter. In 1982, Dr. Charles Williams, who formed the first U.S. Angelman syndrome research and education organization, suggested the eponym “Angelman” be used to avoid offending families.”

Question by Jake G: Is there a bias against men in the legal system?
I’m not saying this happens all the time, just in general. For instance, why is it that women who kill their children are given sympathy and sentenced to “treatment” while men who do the same thing are charged with murder and sentenced to life?

Again this is a general point. The only exception I can think of is Casey Anthony when she allegedly murder her daughter, Caylee.

Best answer:

Answer by NeoNerd
Women who murder their children are given a life sentence, usually. They are only incarcerated in a mental facility if they are demonstrably insane.
