I'm reading The Depression Atlas, and the author has major depression. It began after his grandmother (or mother?) died, but pops up intermittently since then. I don't know. A lot of the stuff he (the author) is writing about I cannot relate to.
He wrote that he was afraid of a lambchop, and that a hospital visit set off his depresion again.
:/ i dunno.
