I'll go even further and suggest that there is only one kind of
depression. If it can be alleviated by a change of circumstance,
environment or any singular event (not ECT) then it is no longer
clinical depression but unhappiness. The two may co-exist or interact
but differ in aetiology. As to whether it is severe or mild depends upon
the criteria you relate it to, which will probably differ from person to
person - so that the management sub-class is probably the best way to
describe it but rename it type 1,11 or 111 to code it.
