Exactly, and that's probably the distinction between the two. The original question positing that depression could be a reaction to a "world gone mad" suggests to me that it's not really Clinical (Big D) Depression. In my mind (and experience), true Clinical Depression persists during both good and bad times. Imagine seeing the world wearing dark glasses, hearing the world with fairly constant negative self-talk and navigating the world with bricks tied to your hands and feet. IMO Clinical Depression has an internal source....
