Most people with depression even severe depression can get better with treatment. Depression is first and foremost a disorder of vitality. Very often depression emerges when a person’s mind does not know how to process scary emotions, such as anger, and therefore simply shuts down instead.

Tragically, this cost can be our very sense of aliveness, joy, and meaning.
