I like this concept. If you were to introduce the element of treatment, would you say it works according to two dimensions, or is there a better explanation/metaphor?
Personally, I also like to think about depression as a taxation on willpower with varying rates (low rate for mild depression, etc.).
I haven’t thought much about how treatment fits in here. I’ve certainly felt both dimensions mentioned get better/reduced through treatment (having to solve less puzzles, having to solve puzzles for coarser/less granular actions).
Ultimately, ‘curing’ depression would be the equivalent of removing the app from your brain.
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. It will improve.
This is a really fascinating analogy. Building on the analogy with how different treatments (talking therapies, exercise, pharmacological interventions) influence or remove the app would be a lovely way to develop this.
