Thank you for an interesting rather poetic post.
I have little time for psychoanalysis and psychiatry having experienced their quackery first hand. The psychiatry profession as it is presently constituted is nothing less than a means for keeping people on the capitalist treadmill. Have a little CBT and some anti-depressants and we'll have you back at work in no time. I can speak from personal experience and recollections of friends when you explain your depression in terms of what is happening in the world e.g. the the near term extinction of humanity that is threatened by global warming/our pollution and destruction of the living planet then psychiatrists get rather defensive and dismiss the reasons for your depression/melancholia and resort to sophistry to try and control you.
Art, poetry, music, literature, the wonder of nature can all help one cope with depression/melancholia more so than the quacks who pose as guardians of our mental health.
