Depression as a Reality

It is common for a doctor, or therapist, or even respectful peer or family member to state thusly that depression is a falsely constructed reality, that it does not represent accurately the future, or one's potential, or a fair and accurate assessment of life. Given, however, that indeed, all routes end in failure and death, and all accomplishments are meaningless, it is apt to say that depression is rather the most accurate depiction of life, as it understands and accepts the folly of it all.
