Somebody want to ask that genius why the wrong word has always been used to describe the condition? And why didn’t he go ahead and define it instead of running his mouth all around what it might do instead of what it actually is? In my experience “depression” has always been a code word for something closer to borderline nuts and it leads, invariably, to people being treated differently than they would if the actual condition was spelled out.

Reminds me of WC Fields when he said “When I drink I’m funny. If I don’t drink, I’m not funny”. And we know a lot of comedy is fueled by likker, etc.
