Exactly. It is always upsetting for me when I hear people say one is more severe than the other. While both are mood disorders and are very similar; they are also dissimilar.
I also never understand why someone wants to say they've suffered more than another person. Is it a competition? It seems very hard or rather near impossible to adequately compare the subjective experience of two or more people's lives.
