> The entire point of clinical depression is that it's not environmental, it's intrinsic. Yes, this means it won't change

Wrong. I lost at least a decade of really great years to this belief. It's bullshit. I've made huge strides in my "clinical" depression despite my environment not markedly improving. I did, however, improve myself enough to recognize and stop maladaptive behaviors.

It's hard as hell to change yourself, but you're not immutable.



If you can change it with your environment, you were misdiagnosed
