It's not an either/or, nor is a competition -- accuracy in perception is not solely determined by whether someone is depressed or not. This line of discussion (re: perception) came about when someone else and I refuted the statements that a depressed person's perceptions were essentially inherently distorted and therefore, the person could not be relied upon to make the most appropriate decision re: suicide for him/herself.
