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