This is some ableist shit right here. Some of us have real debilitating disabilities. It's like saying a broken leg is the same thing as being permanently in a wheelchair.

MDD is a real disability. It can and often is precipitated by environmental triggers, and episodes can resolve once the environment is changed. Just because someone experiences remission in such a case doesn't mean they don't have a disorder that should be treated prior to another episode. Dichotomizing chemical and psychological/environmental is harmful.
