Too bad depression isn't the same way. Depression is like a _PRESENCE,_always looming over your shoulder. Meds and therapy make it small and quiet enough to mostly kinda sorta ignore, but it's always there. Waiting. Lurking. Ready to latch on like a pissed off velociraptor and drag you into the mud any time it sees the slightest opportunity.
