Can you be depressed if you feel vibrant and full of health?

Maybe that is why very few athletes are prone to depression.

I always wonder why sadness and depression are so feared and avoided in our society when the truth of the matter is that it is just another human emotion that everybody experiences to one degree to another. I don't think there is anything wrong with feeling sad and depressed when you are sad and depressed. We conditioned to think it's a bad thing or sickness when it is just human nature. I just think some people are better at dealing with it than others and coping is a learned skill. Many people just don't know themselves well enough to deal with it effectively. It is an intelligence few people cultivate.
