Never been depressed but have had close relatives in the previous generation with chronic, intractable bouts of severe depression sometimes point of suicide, - a definite genetic component.
Those in really, severe clinical depression lack the ability to admit anything or to seek any kind of help. Some neurotransmitters in some parts of the heir brain are totally out of whack and all they can concentrate on is their pain and feelings of misery.. If they are lucky they have loved ones that go the extra mile for them, but a minority never truly leave it behind. Most do of course, hopefully henefit from treatment.
