QUOTE: People who feel passion for their work and friends and love their families and partners don't become depressed as often as the population at large. People who are in touch with their spirit and enjoy a sense of community don't incline toward depression. People who maintain a sense of wonder and awe don't become depressed. Depression isn't the enemy. It's simply a warning sign that we're not on the right path. Our disconnection and folly pursuits of happiness may have much to do with this.

Gee sounds like a Christian wrote this article. Depressed people must be living in sin or not in a proper walk with God ergo; they're depressed. Get right with your 'spirit' or the spirit of God.

How many people actually feel a passion for their work? Got a customer service, sales, restaurant or other mundane job? Get passionate about it! Wake up one morning and lo and behold I love my job! Forget the fact it's no where near my abilities. Having a loving family sure does help keep one on an even keel but, how many family members are loved under CERTAIN conditions. Obey me, get a good paying job, get married & raise kids, don't sin or do something a family member disapproves of. How many families love unconditionally their members? Having a sense of community? What a hoot! Volunteer once a week and all your depression goes away. What about the community outside one's self? They don't seem to be interested in those around them.
