> Im just of the opinion that most people, at least in the USA, are worthless and lazy. I have the feeling and belief that many people including many medical professionals, do not do their jobs correctly or thoroughly. I also feel strongly that the particular Geographic area where I live, the Southeastern USA, is full of absolutely stupid, ignorant, dumbass people.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm not depressed anymore and I still believe all of those things.
Seriously -- feeling hostile and irritable can be part of depression. It's easy to misattribute this to "personality" or "attitude" or whatever, but I think it's probably a basically emotional problem. I'd expect any effective antidepressant to help, perhaps even to eliminate the hostile feelings entirely (although there really isn't a cure for the fact that most people really are stupid :-) ). At the very least, an effective AD (I'm counting ECT as an AD) would take the edge off and give you a chance to make room for some pleasant thoughts.
