I'd like to second this comment. Depression as a syndrome is something that segments of the population have varying levels of susceptibility. Part of the "cure" is learning to distinguish when you are exhibiting the symptoms of depression and can get to help. I suffered with depression for 20 years. A combination of drug and talk therapy helped me tremendously. After a couple of years, I can now recognize the symptoms of depressive thinking and engage in strategies to get to a better way of thinking.
