psychoanalyzing clinical depression is absolutely no different than psychoanalyzing hypertension or psychoanalyzing sleep apnea. Its stupid. These are all nothing but diseases. One is primarily a neurological/neuroendocrine illness, the second is a cardiovascular illness and the third is a pulmonary and ENT illness.
Face it, the science understanding clinical depression and bipolar disorder is primitive. And that is being nice about it.

Chronic pain is definitely a big part of my mental health woes, as I am certain it was in Williams' case. The Baumeister theory does not address that directly, so kudos to you for adding the very important (perhaps most important) chronic physical + psychic pain symptom into the equation.
