One thing that hasn't been mentioned is how people with depression have a really bad effect on those around them, it is a me me me illness and they don't give a shit about anyone else.
As with most illnesses, the person afflicted will become very selfish and appear to wallow in it. Maybe you're trying to say people with depression can be very high maintenance? I definitely was, and I my fiance at the time broke off our whole relationship as she couldn't handle it.
