I think depression has a lot to do with one's own choices. If you disagree, that's great, but if you're going to tell me I don't get it because I don't have it then I'll tell you you're just a drama queen who is seeking sympathy by pretending to suffer from depression.
I could respect your opinion, EP. But then I'd have to respect Ken Ham's opinion about the age of the earth, and Food Babe's opinion about genomics.
This is a settled issue. Causes of depression involve things like abuse, genetics, social isolation, and major events. "Personal choices" isn't on the list. And that's not opinion. That's medical science.
