It is literally your Immune System attacking your Central Nervous System, so it makes the nerves affecting the mood damaged in a way. So it is a kind of life-long chronic fate, with a depression you cannot escape: it has physical reasons; atop of all of that are the psychological reasons that make the condition so grim.
Believe me, I know what depression is. Don't let my young age fool you.
Atlas, I work at a hospital. I've been working in medicine for over a decade, and in that time I have literally typed over 50,000 reports --
-- including thousands of neurology reports.
A gentle hint, Atlas: Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to bullshit me or anyone else here regarding that particular subspecialty. I know people with MS, I know a doctor who treats it, I know the difference between relapsing-remitting, primary progressive and secondary progressive MS, and I know what drugs are used to treat it.
I strongly advise you to not mix up mythology with medicine. Keep them rigorously separate at all times, as is proper.
