I read Cesare Pavese. Was he unhappy or depressed? What about Saint-Exupéry (another pilot)?

That’s better.
Depression is misery with no light at the end of the tunnel.
It is a terrible condition. Only those afflicted can fully understand what it is all about.
Hence Montanelli.

In any case, depression isn’t unhappiness. It’s misery. You can’t help but love a language that distinguishes between different grades and levels of existential pain.

There does, however, need to be appropriate measures and procedures in place to reduce the risk of an employee with a mental illness which affects their job trying to hide it, as happened in this case

Baxxter, the difference is subtle but nonetheless humongous.

You are a distinctly highly cultured person. Read Indro Montanelli, that giant of Italian journalism and a great author.

He lived with chronic severe depression all his life from the age of 12.

He sheds some light on a complex and poorly understood medical condition.

Perhaps more light than anybody else before or after him.

Not to sound impatient or anything like that, but shouldn’t you be Googling the official hospital name, instead of a random news report?

Yes, Karin. That was the girl’s name, Karin.

Unhappiness is transient.

I have, and the description of depression is indistinguishable from unhappiness.
