>What I find frustating and angering is when people assume that their experience with depression is the same as everyone else's. With good intentions, they make suggestions that might work for them, but without taking into account how much different and more severe depression can be in other people.
You are of course right. I have no idea what depression means. Not really. You ask someone and they say 'depressed mood' and you ask 'what's mood?' and they say 'emotional tone...the glass is half empty rather than half full' (which is pretty lame now I see it in front of me). My therapist said (in a not unkind way, I'm sure) that depression was the rag bag of psychiatry, meaning I suppose that it was what was left over after the other diagnoses had been filled.
