This question struck me, because at various times in his life Yglesias has, in fact, suffered from depression.

He does not wear it on his sleeve or raise it periodically as a shield (as many of us do), as that is just not his personality/nature.

But he has really suffered from it - the real thing, acutely and intensely, to the point that conventional treatments were insufficient and he sought our TMS (brain stimulation therapy) for relief (per the since-deleted tweet screenshotted here, which I include because he has written about this literally nowhere else I could find).
