I really do not think depression is a choice at all, I know i didn't choose to be depressed. Also I don't really see it as 'hiding' from life I think depression can more or less contribute to hiding from life at times because it takes your energy and motivation to deal with life....but depression is painful so I think much of the time people try to get away from the pain however they can and don't always have the best way of doing so.

A lot of times addictions come from someone trying to allieviate their pain via drugs, and becoming addicted which then can add more issues but its not so much hiding from life as hiding from the severe pain it seems to cause. If any of that makes sense.
