It has been great reading this thread.
It stimulated this thought: depression is like a bad researcher--who draws the conclusion first and then goes searching for evidence to back it up, selectively attending only to that which supports the conclusions and screening out that which doesn't.
There is a whole lot of ways that moods cause selective attention to different aspects of reality.
