Do you find depression to be salubrious sometimes?

Answer :

answer:When you are having a ‘better’ day, one where you are not feeling so depressed, do you ever say to yourself “I really wish I wasn’t so damned happy today, I wish I was depressed right now!”? Sometimes it is okay (or even good) to be depressed. If, like in Brave New World, we could take some soma every time we felt down, it would diminish our ability to appreciate better days. Depression becomes a problem when down days are the normal state of being.
