I was around 17 years old when I first developed clinical depression. My entire personality changed at the time, in some respects for better and in some respects for worse. Adolescence is by far the most common period for the manifestation of mental illness.
I remember one day my psychiatrist said to me: "Why can't you just *live* instead of asking so many questions about life."
There is something to be said for superficiality, being bliss with ignorance.
