Good article, but towards the end, it talks about how (I'm paraphrasing) "someday, physicians may think of 'depression' not as a single ailment, but as a group of different diseases with different treatments"...
I mean, that's been my definition for well over a decade, and anyone—professional or layperson—who still thinks "depression" is a single disease with a single cure, is way, way behind the times.
