Excellent discussion in this thread. I enjoyed the Time article this last weekend -- what a great surprise to see this thread! Keep it up.
I've been diagnosed with depression for twenty years -- very long cycles of troughs. I wanted to find the "profundity" of my malady, but I never have. To me, being depressed is feeling dead to any pleasure, and there is no life at all in that.
And though Suave suggests depression is not a disease, it feels like a mental illmness to me, and it is a destructive force that has no logic to it in my life. Medicines are largely ineffective to me, and I've sought better understanding of depression for all of my adult life.
