I also prefer not to use anti-depressants unless they are required. Required, meaning, well, required. Survival in question. Or deep, deep, misery. When the life, the animation, has gone out.

Depression comes in all shades. I get these spells of failed motivation - where I lose sight of the beauty and power and necessity of holding a job, keeping the yard clean, all that. I suspect that is a shadow, a balsa miniature, of real depression. "Severe" that is. Gaugie in a previous post put his finger on exactly what I was trying to say. The milder depressions are amenable to a degree to being countered by will, discipline, remembered purpose. But once depression hits a certain level - it overrides the conscious will, just as torture overrides the layered resolve to not feel, then to not yield to, then to not be utterly swept away by the pain. Imho.
