Depression is always, to an extent, a psychotic illness. It steals reality -- which is, in large measure, defined by the completely justifiable hope in tomorrows possibilities -- and replaces it with a world in which one doubts his or her abilities, discounts to zero his or her past successes, doubts love, doubts friendship and doubts God. In its worst forms, it is much more than profound sadness; it is the conviction that nothing good will ever occur, sometimes coupled with horrific and constant anxiety that something unspeakably terrible is about to happen--in a minute, or this very night, or tomorrow.
