I call her ''Teiko'' in my diary (she is that deskmate I've mentioned). She told me three days ago that she went to a psychiatric hospital and was diagnosed with severe anxiety and moderate depression.
She looked a bit quiet at best in normal times, and I used to think that her ''blue'' was just part of her personality. It didn't occur to me that she actually suffered from serious psychological problems.
It makes me feel derelict in my duty and, at the same time, powerless.
