What it's like

A New Orleans newspaper columnist describes his battle with depression, a disease he was reluctant to even admit existed. I wasn't quite as bad as he let himself get, but it was close.

That's a great article. I can recognize many elements in his writing. Thank you for sharing.

Now, if I could only go back to my depression weight (50 pounds less than current)...

Question: In retrospect, when would you trace the onset of depression? Do you see hints of the disease at earlier times?

For myself, there are multiple hints, going back many years, before I was finally able to diagnose the issue.
