Does anybody find this depressing???

MONTREAL — The fish swimming through waterways around big cities could be subjected to doses of humans' "happy hormone," a new study suggests.

Significant quantities of anti-depressants are finding their way into the water around Montreal and affecting the fishes' tissue and brain activity, says Dr. Sebastien Sauve, the study's lead researcher.

He said the phenomenon detected in the St-Lawrence River likely exists around other cities, and called for more research into the long-term ecological effects of of fish being stuffed with anti-depressants.
