    Truth? am uneasy with diagnoses of depression. It looks a lot like sadness to me.
    I am sad all the time because I'm too aware of the horrors man inflicts on the world since forever. I don't think I have clinical depresion.

    I know there are other elements to the diagnosis, but how can we not say that the death of a child doesn't make a normal person as depressed as a person with clinical depression who has not suffered such a loss.

    Don't anybody get defensive; I'm not saying you don't have depression, only that it seems to have subjective and unmeasurable symptoms that every sensitive person can develop under stress.

    Best thing for depression is realizing you are depressed and it eventually passes.

    Yeah, I am doing fine now but there are always challenges. Getting a job in programming and married worked for me personally.
