I think people with depression are more likely to view the negative foremost and ignore the positive.
I don't think in general being depressed allows you to see through 'illusions', because self-deception is as much a part of being depressed as it is not being depressed.
So in my opinion, depression predisposes you to a pessimistic attitude, but doesn't magically clear any clouds of bullshit.
are depressed people more likely to see through illusions in life?
