I agree, I've never said different.
But depression is "feeling sorry for yourself" It goes without saying that it's an extreme condition and people who suffer it can't "just snap out of it".
Millions of people get depressed, but thankfully it's rare for someone to do what this pr*ck did. That's what makes him such a selfish pr*ck, not that he got depressed in the first place, that can happen to anyone.
