Depression. That said, I have a grab-bag of symptoms that isn't entirely typical. On the one hand I don't get any suicidal ideation, on the other depressed episodes seem to feature an actual lowering of IQ. Other than that, the usual lethargy, anhedonia, etc. that most people associate with depression. At best, antidepressants (at the maximum prescribed dose) make it possible to get up and trudge through the day somehow. Most don't seem to even do that much. A couple I've tried immediately gave me night terrors so I couldn't really try them long enough to see whether there was any therapeutic effect.
