Disagree with you on this one metmom. There is sadness, from loss of a family member, the end of a marriage or loss of a job, even felling depressed. And then there is clinical depression which is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Serotonin , an enzyme in the brain that governs moods is out of balance or is ‘’retaken’’ too fast in brain itself needs to be maintained through medication.

I suffered from this condition some years ago. Thankfully through a good doctor and a medication treatment program I no longer do. My case was different than others but depression is a medical illness.

The Freudian nonsense of breast obsession, mother fixation/sibling rivalry or penis envy as cause of depression is on the order of witchcraft.
