How depression works
Elsewhere, a friend relates having been told by someone else "You've had [good thing] and [other good thing] happen, how can you be depressed?
To which I said: Because that's not how depression works, is why. Sheesh. It's a disease. That's like saying "but you're so tall, how can you have eczema?" The two things are just completely unrelated.

Because that is pretty much one of the clearest indicators of depression-- feeling down or even just 'meh' in the face of things that should objectively make you happy.
Did your friend appreciate your analogy? I liked it. :)
