You can't talk to illness?
Well, I disagree.
And just because some brain chemistry thing is concurrent with some mental state does not mean we should discount the experiential aspect by saying 'Well, this chemical change causes that mental state and therefore....'
We can really learn by listening to each other.
When I hear someone say they are depressed I immediately want to ask (I know it sounds cheesy)
'What does it feel like for you?'In other words perhaps and for example, I prefer 'dark night (decade?) of the soul' to 'psychotic depression'.
