I tried to be helpful and in my opinion what I said was relevant and could be usefull if you let go your narrowly worded questions. Sorry. I will not do it again.

Also, nice editting job on what I said. Must be easier then providing answer to how you define depression for you personally.

Another thing... admitting we don't know something is sign of strenght. I coulda pulled something out of my backside "this is what happenes to depression" based on some study or whatever. But would it work for you? Maybe not, and dangerous implication could be made.
