I opened the link in a new tab and will read it. I don't disagree with most of what you wrote here. I will add that I do think burying painful memories is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it might be the only thing that will work. I think I could benefit from better understanding of the differences between depression, regret, unhappiness, sadness, ennui, etc. I am not well informed on the clinical side of this subject but I always considered clinical depression as having a chemical component and could appear without a social/environmental cause as being different than PTSD which is primarily caused by social/environmental factors. When do we know when grief becomes depression. Is it grief when we deal with it well and depression when we don't? Grief is normal, not grieving when you lose a loved one, is probably not depression but it is possibly maladapted behavior if it is more than temporary denial.
