"Depression, like sex, retains an unquenchable aura of mystery. It is new every time."
Bro really decided to end this amazing chapter with that.

"But depression is an emotion that exists in all people, fluctuating in and out of control; depression the illness is an excess of something common, not the introduction of something exotic. It is different from one person to the next. What makes people depressed? You might as well ask what makes people content."
Wow... that is so damn beautifully said.

"Unfortunately, depressed people tend to find everyday life overwhelming, and they are therefore incompetent lobbyists. Moreover, many of those who have been depressed, even if they are doing better, don’t want to talk about it: depression is a dirty secret, and it’s hard to lobby about your dirty secrets without revealing them."

"Daughters of depressed mothers will go through puberty earlier than other girls, and this is almost always associated with promiscuity, early pregnancy, and emotional instability."
Source??? You can't make statements like these like it's common sense, it is not???

Depressions is grief over titties. Okay, Abraham.

[Depression, Abraham says, occurs when hate interferes with the individual’s capacity to love. People whose love is rejected perceive, paranoiacally, that the world has turned against them and so they hate the world. Not wishing to acknowledge such hatred to themselves, they develop an “imperfectly repressed sadism.”]
