    What's really sad is that modern medicine hasn't made much progress in treating depression, due to a combination of stigma/prejudice, insurance companies lobbying strongly for a long time to make depression seem as a weakness of character rather than an actual illness, and the "war on drugs"+pharma patent trolling preventing novel depression treatments from being properly investigated. People are constantly dying horrible deaths just because politicians have the moral integrity of a potato.
