Depression
summary
A personal account of anhedonia where a gourmet sandwich tastes like cardboard and the state lasts about six weeks, framed as one manifestation of a major depressive episode tied to genetic risk and measurable brain-chemistry and structure changes. Notes that standard therapies—drugs plus therapy—only produce full response in 50% respond of cases, warns against well-meaning cure evangelism, and points to bluehackers.org as a peer resource and a Wednesday-night meetup for ongoing support.
