minus-square jerkface ( @jerkface@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoI 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!
