I feel they have a good point if they are treating someone with chronic pain. I have fibromyalgia and there is depression associated with it. However, my take on that is that I have pain every day of my life and will continue his pattern as long as I'm alive. Therefore, I think there would be something wrong with me if I wasn't depressed from time to time. In the beginning I was depressed all the time because I didn't know what it was or that it was permanent. Now I do and I've come to accept it as my existence, so it doesn't depress me like it used to.
