Nope.Pure garbage.I was depressed by the callous lying and outright evilness of "progressive" assholes telling ME that I was in the wrong for fighting back when they most likely were the bullies when they went to school. I was too smart for my own good.
My depression was 100% rational then, and my pessimism is 100% rational now.
Depression is an illness. It's not rational. Sorry.
It is 100% rational when you are kid and hopelessness is all you have to work with.
It's an actual mental illness, not just feeling lousy. It has emotional and physical symptoms. And it isn't caused by other people unless you're already predisposed to depression.
There are people who go through awful, hopeless events and don't get depressed. There are people who have mostly good lives and get depressed. It has nothing to do with logic.
Depression is when you let your hopelessness affect your every day life activities to the point that you are impaired, that has nothing to do with "mental illness".
If your feelings of hopelessness are rational, and there is no reason to dispel those feelings, then you will naturally be affected in other areas of your life by that hopelessness until it consumes you.
The DSM disagrees with you.
Who cares, that nastiness is nothing but the mentally ill progressive bible. Nothing but justification for de-criminalizing depravity and creating *victims* who can then be exploited as cash cows.
