Hi.
Thanks for the synopsis. It will help others to get to know your better and how you experience your illness. I hope you and your doctors hit the targets that will bring you into wellness.

I bet a great many cases of MDD are precipitated by situational depressions. Once triggered, the MDD becomes autonomous. Of course, many of these MDD episodes remit spontaneously. Reducing the stress load increases one's chances of recovering; either spontaneously or via biological interventions. Psychotherapy can help reduce the chronic psychosocial stressors that feed the MDD.
