Assuming a product person ( e.g Steve Jobs ) is easily Angry and Irritable with crap ( Which there are lots of it ), would that considered as depressed? Where do we draw a line where some body just have very high standard to everything ( Perfectionist ) or they actually have bipolar disorder.
I've known many people who have Jobsian tendencies. They don't have depression, just a low tolerance for bullshit.

If you ever feel angry, irritable, sad, apathetic, restless, tired or any way other than perfectly fine, positive and happy, then you're suffering from depression. Go to your nearest psychiatrist to be assured that you're a victim, that your brain is broken and there's nothing that you can do, and that the only path to feeling "normal" is becoming dependent on a high-priced drug cocktail that will alter your brain ch…
Because in your world the only way to help people with depression are anti-depressants? Unlike the real world where people have various options (e.g. psychotherapy)?

Long and tedious story short, when I cut milk, gluten/short carbs/whatever pesticide they use for wheat, and excess sugar from e.g. prefabbed food from my diet I gained 10kg and my life basically turned around. Turns out having your gut constantly inflamed is bad for your mental health.
I have missed so many opportunities because of this. It's not right.
ED: Apparently I need to point out that one possible cause may be that antibiotics killed the gut bacteria I needed to process milk, wheat and sugar. If so, this malady could be solved with a less revolting alternative to fecal transplants.

Humans in general are pretty shitty, driven mostly by self-interest. I guess there are people driven by doing good but most people are capable of doing terrible things, especially when in a group.
I do suffer from existential depression, I'm generally pretty happy, but as I learn more and live longer my outlook on the world gets worse. I did therapy, it was nice to talk about things I would not bring up with friends/SO.
I tried meds but side-effects generally suck and the whole medical industry in the US raises my blood pressure.
Edit: I would still encourage anyone feeling unhappy/depressed to try all the options meds/therapy/meditation/w.e before accepting defeat.
I have had to deal with inexplicable anger and irritability for a long time. It is possible this traces back to being misdiagnosed and prescribed 5 antibiotic recipes back-to-back as a child.

> just a low tolerance for bullshit. How about "just a low tolerance for what they perceive as bullshit"? It seems many such people perceive things like manners, respect for other people, and anything that doesn't push their personal current priority as "bullshit".
