Hey,
I really like how you characterized the subjectivity of derpession, your post make use of some very nice language constructs. An interesting take on the psychoanalytic view of depression. I have recently been drawn to the existential schools outlook on depression. I believe these views are marked by a long-standing debate on to what extent depression is necessary. I think psychoanalysis'stance is to reduce suffering, whereas existentialsm tries to give suffering meaning. What is your opinion on that? I wrote a blogpost in similar vein. Let me know what you think.
