Do you suffer from depression?

"Now, not everyone who is depressed will feel all of these descriptors; but they probably feel some of them. You feel down. You’re irritable, maybe. Maybe a sense of hopelessness. You’ve lost a sense of purpose. Those things you used to enjoy, you don’t enjoy them anymore. There’s this oppressive pessimism – everything is half-empty. Sadness, dejection. Some people eat when they are depressed. Some don’t eat. Some people sleep when they are depressed. Some can’t sleep. You may feel constantly tired and listless. You may have a hard time thinking clearly, concentrating, and processing. You may have this self-loathing, maybe feeling like a failure. You may even … you may even have thought about ending it all. Does any of that stuff ring a bell with any of you? And if this stuff settles in, if it stays too long, after a couple weeks, they might label it as a clinical depression. Ever been there and felt that?" Stephen "Doc" Pattison
