| This article, like most of the psychiatry articles on Misplaced Pages, currently basically reads like the "party line" from the DSM-IV, which, while influential, is hardly the only word on the topic. Things that I would like to see eventually included: critical viewpoints that do not accept the "medical model" (Szasz is the most notorious, but there's a wide range); literary connections (van Gogh, Rothko, etc.); controversy over treatment; etc. As with most things relating to the human psyche, it is possible to view depression as simply a biological condition, but this is not the only viewpoint. --] 23:58, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC) | |||

Right, SE. Watch and learn as I incorporate your opinions into the text. -- The Anome
The first edit: my first para goes, except for two sentences which drop down lower (and are phrased in non-dogmatic terms that can be backed up by cites if you wish). Your correction becomes the first para, except that 'may or may not' becomes 'often'. Here endeth the first edit. -- The Anome
The second edit: I incorporate your correction re non-loss medical reason into the para above. -- The Anome
The third edit: now your correction is incorporated into the para above, it is no longer needed. So it goes.
Now I have incorporated your corrections into the article. I have
- replaced my words (or someone else's?) with yours for correction 1
- incorporated the sense of correction 2 into my text, and deleted the redundant correction
You should now be happy - if not, please tell me why. -- The Anome
This article merges discussion of depression in general and unipolar depression. I'm wondering if anyone else feels it might be better to have one page called "Depression", and another called "Unipolar disorder" or "Clinical depression" or "Major depression" to discuss particulars. -- Ryguasu
I agree that a simplification and rationalization of these topics makes sense. Beans
Here's a link to a useful public domain booklet; material from this can be freely copied into the article: Enchanter
