Yeah, but how do *you* know the difference between the two. I know a lot of clinically depressed people who put on a happy face, and downplay their own problems in public, but behind closed doors they really are clinically depressed. The kinds of information that is revealed to a physician may be very different than the kinds of information revealed to co-workers in public. So its not really possible for anybody to say...so and so is not *really* clinically depressed, they just need "therapy" and "acceptance" in their life.
>I know a guy who is unhappy and confused about >is life, but not really depressed.
Again...how do you know? Maybe the medications upgraded him from "clinically depressed" to "confused about his life"
