Lots Of Persons Under Trains
 

I do believe however that theres a trend to pin a medical label on any
behavioural issue these days even when theres nothing actually wrong
with the person that a good kick up the arse wouldn't solve.

Your whole point that "depression doesn't exist" seems to almost
completely brought about that "depression = a reason to live on benefits
cos you're lazy".

I can confirm that a great many people suffer from serious depression yet
successfully hold down a full time job at the same time. (the only person
I've dealt with who had depression was an ex-girlfriend, who was a car-
crash on many, many levels, yet was incredibly successful at her job, and
believe me, when she tried to come off her anti-depressants, the
consequences were fun for NOBODY)

And even this dude:

Highly paid, international goalkeeper, suffered years of depression and
ultimately killed himself while at the peak of his career. Laziness?

So is Boltar's chronic, thoroughly miserable demeanour a sign of
clinical depression, or does he just need a slap? ;-)
