To the OP of the current subject, don't get too caught up in thinking about the complexities of depression. That's what I did, everyone was trying to tell me it was either a very complex issue, or that I wasn't really depressed, and true depression is this, etc.
I know I was depressed, because I didn't feel like life was worth living. I was very aimless for a few years, and I contemplated suicide, even though I never told anyone. Seeing through the cynical bull**** illusions that depression creates is pretty much everything to beating it. I found it to be actually very simple once I figured out that the root of my problem was just me being way too cynical about literally everything, from everyday things that I have no control over, to my ideas on what my life should be. Don't censor your thoughts, and just go out and do some things that you think would help you to improve your life, even something as simple as saving a little extra money to go visit Sweden or something.
