Good comment, thank you. > ...are depressed because their way of life does not meet the expectations... That was definitely me during my depression years; and I see that in my sister too. Of course there's more to the story, but that was a big component; and it doesn't have to be material or big, in my case was the simple habit of expecting perfection at each and every action, and anything short of perfection would be disappointment, sum that up for years/decades and becomes depression with side effects like analysis paralysis....
