Depression Quote by Ronnie Worsham
““There are all kinds and degrees of depression as well as types of moods associated with it. It is not selected on a daily basis as we would select our clothes, instead we usually just get whatever falls from the emotional “weather” we are experiencing at that time. Everyone experiences various moods to some degree and can understand the underlying complexity of all emotions. So it is important not to over-simplify any emotion and specifically depression.””
