Regardless, I hope you can find ways to mitigate the worst effects of the illness.
I'm so glad you said this!!! It is exactly what I said yesterday....or recently, anyway. Brain chemicals change over time, and just because there is a situation going on that is at the root of (some of?) the depression, it does NOT mean that it is the ONLY cause of the depression! Lots of exclamation marks....I feel really passionate about this concept!
Thanks for this!
