That looks more like bi-polar disorder. When I get depressed it's more like the end shot where everything is empty and doesn't work, not clouds of doom and gloom.

Yeah, at least Hypo-manic Depression.

The thing that put me off was suddenly being a floating head in front of the sun, all i could guess is that it was a bit like hallucinations hence mania. The rest of it works for depression i think - if you imagine that the "happy" bits are non-depressed and the "unhappy" bits are depressed. The artist perhaps had to over exaggerate both sides a touch because it's hard to describe feelings in words. In the non-depressed bit, life looks like it should; birds sing, leaves fall, you don't feel at odds with the world (1st bit), things seem alive for a change, the world spins and there are things to enjoy (the town scene). In the depressed bits everything feels uncomfortable and unsatisfying and generally grim (1st bit), constant reminder of there being no real purpose, no reason to do anything before you die, the world spins on, your life and death were irrelevant (grave surrounded by planet earth bit).
