Depressive Realism
September 17, 2009 at 11:08 am
I recently heard that depressed people view themselves in realistic terms and people who aren't depressed view themselves in unrealistic positive terms. I was intrigued so I looked to see if there was any truth to it, and seems like there have been some studies that currently seem to confirm this hypothesis.
