LadyPact -> RE: Depression poll for subs and doms; no other (6/1/2010 1:09:03 PM)

I know this is in P&RS, but damn, this had the potential to be really interesting. (Don't be surprised if I steal this concept and move it to the General board. You really are on to something and I happen to think it deserves it's place.) I do have to say that I didn't answer your poll because depression is too much of a catch all term. A person can feel depressed due to situation alone (for example a major move from one location to another due to missing friends, family, etc.) and actual disorders caused by mental/physical health. Also, even though you specified a descriptor of "severe", it really is difficult to distinguish where the line between severe and not severe really lies. Symptomatic depression can range anywhere between a period of "feeling blue" to debilitating and/or unable to function within society. How a person gauges everything in-between and exactly where the "severe" line is will vary.
