^^Hence the reason I find it annoying to be asked, "What are you depressed about?" I have similar feelings when people name off all the blessings in my life, and end by saying I shouldn't be depressed. That's like telling someone they shouldn't be epileptic, diabetic, or even schizophrenic. Hello, it's an illness! It can flare up for no reason at all. It doesn't have to be "about" anything, and it is not a matter of being unaware of, or ungrateful for, good things in my life.
