Anyone who has ever struggled with depression knows get happy advice is all bullshit.

Yes there's things we can do to help improve our mood. But improving your mood and being made happy are two very different things. A distinction nobody seems to understand.

I really think that thinking about depression as a "mood" is a dead end avenue to begin with. It's better to think of it as a physiological condition, like being hungry, tired or hypothermic. You can be happy AND depressed!

I agree. But good luck explaining that to someone who has never had the wrong amounts of neurotransmitters in their brain.
