>That is not to say that all depressions are medical conditions, but mine is.
Any severe form of depression in which basic bodily functions deteriorate IS a medical condition! If the depression has gone beyond just emotions and feelings and has begun seriously destroying sleeping, eating and sex drive cycles you DO have a serious medical condition. For some major depressives cognition is severely destroyed, this is further evidence it is a medical condition.
Real chemical imbalance depression problems go way way WAY beyond just sadness and suicidal thoughts and impulses. Real depression destroys your overall health. I dont know how anybody can deny that is a serious medical problem.
I aint talking about dysthymia and situational depressions here on this message board.
