“I WOULD SAY THAT THE OPPOSITE OF DEPRESSION IS NOT
HAPPINESS, BUT VITALITY,” HE SAID. “THE EXPERIENCE OF
DEPRESSION IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT FEELING INCREDIBLY SAD, BUT FEELING
INCREDIBLY DEVITALIZED, AND NOT HAVING ANY OF THE ESSENTIAL ENERGY
THAT CONSTITUTES BEING ALIVE OR ANY OF THE FEELINGS THAT MAKE UP
OUR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCE.”
