There is a very large difference between clinical depression and situational depression. The ideas and suggestions of those who have suffered from situational depression are often not very helpful for those who suffer from clinical depression. I think this article is clearly about situational depression, but I don't think people often know there is a difference.

I think the article doesn't know the difference...

The article thinks it knows the difference (by trying to distinguish depression from ordinary "sadness"), but then seems to fail its own test.

yeah it's not the type of depression David Foster Wallace wrote about
