Thanks, Nyyki. Not everyone gets depressed, just a lot of the people we know. And among the people who get depressed, not all of them have one of the clinical forms of depression . . . and those are not the same thing even though people assume that they are.

I think the implication that I'm wallowing in misery or just too lazy to pull myself together is kind of personally offensive/baffling/academically offensive because
a.) Judging me by comparing me to yourself when you don't have this condition = false comparison.
b.) Have you MET ME? That judgment makes no sense.
& c.) There's a perfectly good internet out there full of information about this, and all people still DO IT WRONG because they don't go look it up.

People are weird, yo.
