At what point did I gatekeep depression by agreeing with someone else about their diagnosis?

You're being a little ridiculous right now.

For the second time, stop trying to turn my reply to someone else into a blanket statement. I understand picking needless fights with strangers on the internet qualifies as dopamine seeking behavior. Maybe you should be looking inward.

When have we been talking about anyone's diagnosis? We've been talking about the common misperception that depressive episodes caused by environmental triggers are not a result of treatable neurochemical dysfunction. MDD can certainly be a result of environmental triggers, and there are a wide variety of neurochemical bases of it. I distinctly said in my first comment that I was referencing a small part of your reply. I'm not trying to have a needless fight, I'm trying to correct a common public misperception that you reiterated. I do that whenever I see a misunderstanding of science; I care about public science education, especially on topics important enough as psychiatric conditions that are often fatal without treatment. If you feel like this is a pointless fight, sorry. I only commented because I understood your comment to mean something that, no matter my read of your wording, you clearly say you weren't meaning.

Go reread the person I responded to before you entered the conversation. They said their depression was caused by an external factor. That is who I replied to, and the reply you've been desperate to strawman ever since.
