Hi Linkadge.
That was a well-conceived post. I wish that it were all true. I have worked my butt off in various psychotherapies, and have applied the lessons learned to my everyday life. Because of this, I believe that I am maximizing my quality of life despite the lack of improvement in my depressive illness.
I do think that we need to refine our nomenclature when the word "depression" is used without any further qualifications. When you speak of depression, what exactly is the condition that you are describing? Is there a difference among its uses in our conversations? What, precisely, is your description of major depressive disorder MDD? In what ways is it the same or different from the depression that you refer to?

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
