re: Mr. SadPuppyDog on situational depression
situational depression is not the same thing as dysthymia; unlike situational depression, dysthymia does not go away when the stressors are removed or after the precipitating event has ended, been resolved or been processed somehow (e.g. via psychotherapy). dysthymia can in fact be treated effectively with medication as well as therapy.
