Six distinct types of depression identified in Stanford Medicine-led study

2. Interesting. I suffered from depression from roughly 15 to 45.

It was determined to be mild. Without going into detail, I can assure you it was very serious and very long lasting. It did lift after a hysterectomy, so I always laugh and say the best times of my life have been pre-pubescent and post menopausal. But, the pain is real and just because you can (mostly) push through it and function doesn't mean it's 'mild'.

My other comment about depression is that, sadly, there are a lot of very bad therapists out there. I hope anyone who suffers from depression gets the relief they deserve. I wouldn't wish those years on anyone. The only thing that kept me going was my children.
