Something for you to think about.... I read that some in evolutionary psychology believe that depression is possibly a natural mechanism of the healthy mind. In depression our thoughts become dark, overly emotional and yet focused. Focused on what? Our problems. Address the problems of that focus and the depression subsides. Approx. 50% of the population experiences depression throughout life, so they theorize it has to have a healthy function.

There's a 15 page article in the NY times about this.
Somewhere they mentioned that Darwin was depressed for 2 out of every 3 days.
But he took his depression and asserted it into his work.
this is interesting.

I also take my depression onto my work. I am hoping to come with some revolutionary political philosophy still.

I cannot do it all the time, there are times I am just too slowed down to produce anything worthy... but at times, I can channel it... and I think I do it quite well. Whenever it be my essays or poetry.
