Not to be picky, but, while I agree with you the fact that there are two types of depression, I wouldn’t say that one of them came from “having a bad day or week”. I went through about three-to-five months of very bad depression (I brushed up on my mental illness reading after this topic was started and I’ve realised that if I had gone to a professional I probably would have been diagnosed with depression. I was exhibiting all the symptoms for a prolonged period of time). That was caused by my dad dying, a pretty depressing event. I’m over that now (incidentally, thanks to God and my dog), but I think that’s the sort of depression you were talking about? Caused by circumstances rather than medical reasons and usually not permanent.

Sorry, though, if I misunderstood you.
