I know a person who at one point during college suffered from depression. This person eventually found an answer... and it was staying physically fit. However I saw this person become addicted to Exercise. He is a good friend I still talk to him, and he has control over his compulsory instincts.

its a good addiction to have, but its not a replacement for depression.

I long for rain and snow, I do notice sadness in winter though.

Thanks for posting. I wish he had also mentioned the difference between unipolar major depression and bipolar disorder. The depressive phases can be identical, but the treatment is often very different.
1 in 10 of women, and 1 in 20 of men will suffer a major depressive illness at some time in their life. It is a VERY common disorder, but diagnosis is often shrouded in the somatic complaints of headaches, back pain, lack of energy, etc. which are all real and not imagined.
When major depression strikes, you feel as if an alien has invaded your body and taken control. You look in the mirror and ask, "where did I go? Where's the real me?" The scary part is not knowing if you will return. Depression is scary.
