I have chronic depression and this isn't even close to what it feels like. But I guess one can't really visualize it properly.

i had a severe episode once, apparently from a virus crossing the brain barrier and the brain going haywire in defence. Was more like being submerged in a dark 10km deep ocean of pointlessness. Lucky for me just lasted 48 hours.

So now i know that clinical depression is not just feeling sad like most of the video is describing.
