1) can someone be depressed, and not realise it? (it's not a matter of denial, but not recognising the state that you are in, somehow closing yourself off from the world over time).
2) what is the best way to interact with someone with depression? (therapy, and medication aside, how can you best be of service to someone going through this condition/experience)
3) when did you first experience depression? (for me, it was age 18, and it was after I had my worldview shattered by coming into contact with spiritual information/awakening. You would think it would be a joyous occasion, to awaken, but it has multiple effects and consequences. One was depression, and not knowing how to negotiate with the world given this newfound information).
4) is all depression 'curable'? that is, does depression (like all other distortions), have a specific causation, and the biochemical components of depression are just the most outward expression of it?
