"Most depressive episodes are triggered by traumatic events such as the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship or the loss of a job. Andrews says the brain may blunt other functions such as appetite, sex drive, sleep and social connectivity, to focus its effort on coping with the traumatic event."
I'm quite happy to accept that depression under these conditions is self limiting and part of the healing process - but what does he suggest for people like me, who suffer deep suicidal depression for no apparent reason? Just kill our self early in the course of the illness and get it over with?
