A member asked:
Depression variations- can it be biology based? attitude based? how do you know? is unhappiness treated the same as depression by psychs?

Yes: It surely could be biology based. Consider your relatives? Everyone has some unhappiness in their life, but depression is a more pervasive, global unhappy feeling and requires treatment. Meds are often helpful. I see you have behavior therapy which is good but supplemental medication may improve your results.
