> So, i haven't seen anyone getting depressed without any painful emotion. Maybe I am highly wrong in that. Yes, you are wrong, though it is slightly confusing. We use the term "depressed" in more than one way. One way is the way you used it, which is more colloquial and means "down in the dumps." The other is clinical depression [1], which is probably what smt88 is talking about. People often get touchy about depression (as you can see by the downvotes and by smt88's sharp response to your questions) because it is very frustrating to the clinically depressed when non-clinically depressed people tell them to "just cheer up" or look for some easy reason, when such a thing just doesn't exist. Incidentally, I didn't see anything about depression in the article. Why did you ask in the first place?
