Dictionaries are - by definition - descriptive. It is not their duty to judge what goes into them. They merely collected terms used by people and explain what they mean.
Demanding to remove information from a dictionary, because you do not like what it expresses or the people who use those terms, is the very definition of censorship.
I think I experienced similar feelings which usually appear when I was comparatively "better" than during the times that counted as major depressive episodes, according to the professionals I dealt with.
But honestly the way our psyche deals with depression is highly individual and good, responsible therapists/psychiatrists/neurologists/... consider a variety of symptoms before making a final diagnosis. With the exception of a high risk of suicide which will immediately place the sufferer in the "major depressive disorder" category, because of the immediate danger to their lives.
What I want to say: Probably only an expert will be able to tell you exactly what kind of depression you have/had. And I cannot claim to be one. I am simply someone who suffers from it too and I read up about it.
I am sorry for being the bearer of sad news. Suicidal thoughts are the most easily recognizable of the symptoms. And even if they are less persistent between major depressive episodes, a lot of us are still stuck with depression in one form or another for the rest of our lives.
And that's the difference between minor depressive disorder and major depressive disorder. Thank you for attending Depression 101.
I moments of crisis, I will just start crying, but I can do that very fast.
Ah oui, c'est bien jolie and même romantique. J'envie tout le monde qui habite dans un coin aussi beau.

Besides the war, under fascism hunger and disease are justified to "toughen up" the "volk" and weed out the "untermenschen". You can already see how RFK and the tariffs are setting the stage for both. Suffering will be seen as proof of your obedience, objection to the suffering will be considered disloyalty and punished.
They don't want to save Hollywood, they want to control it. They can't control it if the studios shoot their films outside of the US.
I have to admit, I was also puzzled by what they mean with "horny", despite agreeing with the gist of the article.
