I think actually this is the most interesting of your points. I think the operant word that is missing is curing. Neither ads nor opiates used as ads cure depression.
So what exactly is the difference between masking and relieving depression? When nardil was working for me, I did not feel very much depression. Yet when I went off the nardil, the depression returned in full force. So is that masking or relieving? And what would be the difference? Really curious.
