I in no way mean to impugn Brittany's wonderful post of hope, and journey back to health...But Sarahsweets, I totally get your point. There is a great deal of difference between Situational Depression and Clinical Depression, where one is most usually the result of negative and often traumatic life events, the other results from chemical/hormonal imbalance and/or faulty electrical impulses needing to be corrected with medication. Even doctors often fail to differentiate in their diagnosis'.....'I believe you are Depressed'..or...'You are suffering from Depression'...both very different animals.

Out of Interest, I have included a link below that strives to differentiate the two.
