It is a little strange to think about. Most people experience some depression in their lives so things like chronic depression are easier to understand through your own experience.

It is strange to think that someone who is 'always so happy' gets depressed. Not that they are hiding that depression under their cheer but that the cheer and depression are genuine states that manifest very powerfully. It just isn't something that most people go through.
