Ooof. Like many of the previous comments, this "solve depression with creativity" isn't for all.

I'm recovering from 2 years of clinical depression, and lemme tell you, trying to write songs while you doubt every single goddamned thought, bone, and instinct in you is a bad idea.

Creativity requires a modicum of self-trust and curiosity. Major depression is so mentally engulfing that there's no room for those two things.
