> IMHO the main question is whether you take responsibility for your situation or not. ... Calling depression an illness you give up your responsibility and give up also your power over it. Except the terrifying thing about depression is that you don't have any power over it. It takes your ability to make decisions away. You can't take responsibility over it, because you can't take responsibility over anything --- it's just not physically possible. > A brave new world of lack of responsibility... Be very careful; you're extremely close to saying that if people have depression then it's their own fault.
