Maybe she should post more pictures of her in therapy, getting perscriptions for anti-depression meds, or pictures of her crying in the corner. Thats kind of jumping to conclusions if they cut her off based on pictures of her looking like she's having a good time...because honestly, who tags themselves in pictures where it looks like they're not having a good time. (as I tag myself in pictures of the day I put my cat down...jk)

For those who don't remember this one.. we had something similar to this happen at mac in 06/07. It was the final night of coverage in McKay so all the CAs are on duty. Most of them shared in champagne while wearing their coverage shirts and put the pictures of them doing that up on facebook. They were fired for it. All but two CAs had to quit.

hmm, they got pictures of her even though her profile was private, and unless they had permission that can be basically count as invading a person's privacy. I wont be surprised if she sues ManuLife for invading a person's privacy without any prior consultation.

While there are cases of chronic depression, not all depression is 24/7. It occurs in episodes ... just because someone isn't depressed at a particular time point it doesn't mean that it won't come back.

Well, I just don't get it.
If you're depressed enough that you can't work (even at a simple job with no stresses), then you should be depressed enough to not want to go out and do shit.

What I don't get is how everyone seems to care more about the fact that they used facebook to spy on her than the actual cutting off insurance part. This wouldn't even be news if it wasn't for that detail.
Dear shocked people: If you post pictures on facebook, assume that others can see them. Regardless of your privacy settings, people who are dedicated enough will be able to see find them still. Either live with it or don't post pictures of yourself.
