One thing about more severe depressions: It allows for very little personal growth. The rate of change is very slow.
Self-actualization is nearly impossible when one is severely depressed.
1. There is too much focus on meeting more basic needs because of impaired function.
2. Depression dulls and tangles thoughts and feelings. It does not allow for much clarity of thought or the mental energy to process and internalize change.
