May I just piggyback on the question (SLS) and the reply/musings (Sigi)?
And add thought drifts on morality and will, legitimacy of MI and depression, whether biogenic or neurotic?
They are vital questions, obviously for everyone from the afflicted to the researcher but not dividing lines
between real people and suffering.> >Is there any way to tell the difference between a biogenic depression and a psychogenic depression?
