babusyatanyawhy does depression feel bad? It feels bad, on our hypothesis (initially advanced
by Watts & Panksepp 2009), for two reasons: firstly, to encourage us to form
attachments, particularly to early care-giving figures, but also with our sexual mates
and offspring and social groups and the like; and secondly, to persuade us to give up
hope if our attempts to reunite with such figures or groups do not succeed within a
limited time - frame, when we have become detached (or lost).
