Great! But to be clear, you are talking about diagnosed depression, right?

[immmmmm]

diagnosed burn out, but no diagnosed depression. i however feel the difference, even if i can't give scientifically relevant data.

You do not need a diagnosis to be depressed. What a counterintuitive logic.

[serf]

that wasn't the logic -- parent never mentioned what they felt relief from.

for all we know it helped their rheumatoid arthritis.

You definitely need diagnosis to be called “clinically depressed”.

For all we know lay folk use the word depressed for feeling bummed. (Not insinuating this is the case with the GP)
