I’ve recently read about the above two terms and I’ve been thinking about how accurately they describe my mother. My mother—plagued by major depression/major bouts with extreme depressive disorder throughout her lifetime. She would frequently be asked how she felt and she was unable to articulate. She told me more than once that she had a difficult time parsing out or ascertaining what was mental pain and which was physical like chronic fatigue. She had real difficulty articulating what she was feeling.
