Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you haven't suffered from depression your whole life, right? That's the difference. For some reason (probably genetic) my brain never generated those "feel good" chemicals it was supposed to.
I honestly think I've been lucky.
I was even depressed as a young child, I just didn't know that was what it was because I had never felt any other way. People who have the serotonin and dopamine working naturally don't know how lucky they are.
