You're right, the fact that Frankl was a holocaust survivor was not relevant, and I didn't mean to draw a comparison between the two experiences.

My impression of depression is that it's pervasive and crippling, and often the events surrounding it can be incidental. Not to say that one event couldn't be a tipping point, but neither is it fair to put all blame on one event or one organization or one person, as it downplays the effect of the underlying condition.

And also by the same token, pinning it squarely on the condition can equally downplay the situation such a person might find themselves in.

It's an incredibly difficult topic to discuss.
