Don't wanna annoy you, but what does 'depression' mean to you, Cecilia? Dunno what the word means. Heartbreak, disappointment, dread, terror, horror, fear, hatred, alienation etc all have clear meanings I understand. Couldn't even understand my diagnoses, which were 'lacking a sense of identity' (which made my father snort) and 'deprivation'(if that's a diagnosis). Maybe I did too much therapy. One of my problems was never being able to leave a room, so I never left therapy either, until I was told to.
As I recall, in marxism there is the word 'reification', which means turning a process into a thing....like a diagnosis for (say) depression.
Any advances in treatment will come from an understanding of our individual biochemistries, rather than better drugs, which are not likely from bigpharma, IMO(of course).
