That hospital came up when I tried searching for Google's transliteration of "こころ の かぜ", which I'm guessing is using a different writing system.
Searching for "心の風邪", the first result appears to be a play called "The Last 5 Years", but nothing actually comes up if you ctrl-f for that string on that page. The second result, however, is a mental-health clinic that says (machine-translated):
The present age is said to be the "age of the heart." Depression is often compared to a "cold of the heart."† It is so common that everyone can get it once in a lifetime.
The number of patients with depression is on the rise, especially with mild depression. Highly information-oriented society, nuclear family, declining birthrate and aging population, disappearance of local communities, changes in family structure, social advancement of women, bursting of bubbles, restructuring ... Rapid changes in social structure are increasing stress.
