Sorry, Bill... maybe I should've said good counseling from good counselors. Hard to find, granted, but worth their weight in gold when you do.

Well said! Whatever the specific cause(s), anything that creates long periods of high stress or traumas of all kinds can bring on changes within us that result in depression.
