You don't know anything about things you haven't experienced first hand. If you had ever been depressed, or loved someone who had, as Widdoes, you'd find the whole notion of "not believing in it" offensive and judgemental. There but for the Grace of God, go I.

Everyone gets in a funk sometimes. You can get stressed. Have a lot of pressure or just a lot of things going down. What have you. And maybe something you are putting in your body or are not putting in your body is affecting your mood. But there is a difference between short term alterations in mood that you can "snap out of" by some simple change. That is not what we are talking about.

It goes back to this thing of people saying depression is all vitamin and mineral deficiency. Well, if you have a defiency that is altering you mood (which is HIGHLY unusual, btw...true clinical deficincies aren't that common) then you ain't "depressed". You have a nutritional deficiency. If you corrected that deficeincy but the alteration in brain chemistry hung around for some reason despite this, then that would be depression. Otherwise it's just mood changes.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
