Avatar Depression

P.A.D.D is on the Rise for Movie Watchers

— January 14, 2010 — Lifestyle
If you have seen Avatar and gotten a case of Avatar depression, then you aren’t alone. Avatar depression or as I have cleverly dubbed it P.A.D.D (Post Avatar Depression Disorder) is on the rise all across the globe.

Avatar depression or P.A.D.D comes about when somebody watches Avatar and becomes depressed with their normal life and surroundings. Some real life locales aren’t as beautiful as the world of Pandora and that naturally leads to depression.

There is a support system if you experience Avatar depression. Check out the link below if you feel an onset of P.A.D.D. Stay strong my friends.
