"Descent: Occasionally science likes to remind us that we don’t know what depression is."

"People think depression is an emotional disorder wherein you feel sad. But many people, myself included, often don’t feel anything. Sometimes it’s like being a walking void, like all human motivation is gone. Sometimes it’s like being made of sadness, then suddenly like being made of mud. Being sad also fails to explain the physical symptoms I and many others experience...
depressed people are at severely increased risk of heart attacks. We are dying of broken hearts, and no one knows why."
