Practically, what is the difference between emotional state and consistently emotionally regulating into a depressive mindset? I'm not a psychiatrist and I don't care what the precise terminology is. In layman's terms, what I've stated is correct.

Nothing I've said is incorrect. I'm just using colloquial language to describe the issue.

You are just being an asshole by trying to show off your technical knowledge in the subject, which is not helping anyone.
