Its like saying to a diabetic patient lower your sugar level with your will. Thats impossible and its not something that they made themselves ill. Who in the world wants to be depressed and become detached from the world?
Sure depression is part of our emotion. But clinically stated that if the symptoms of depression lasts more than 2 weeks its considered a mental illness for depression

They knew with me it had nothing to do with being weak, lazy or unmotivated but more like burnout because 70-80 hour work weeks were my norm while practicing my flute & performing in chamber groups....but one can only go at that pace for so long without burnout happening & when not able to function at the level one is used to & throw other factors in, depression will hit & not always easily recovered from depending on other circumstances
