Great article. As a long-term sufferer of depression, it was only by re-assessing my subjective perceptions and values that I was able to deal with and start to recover from the condition. I am prone to relapse, but having been through that re-evaluating process, the periods of depression are easier to cope with because I see them as 'warps' in my perception rather than the absolute truth as mentioned in the article.
