I'm just not sure that a 28 year old is really facing incurable depression.

You can be in a pretty long deep depression in your 20s and pull out of it in your 30s and 40s.

Plenty of people attempt suicide after 30 or 40 or 50 as well. What's your proposed window?

I don't think its up to me to determine a "proposed window", I think its on the other side of the debate to define what "terminal" depression is.

That you don’t have or see one doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

But it means that it isn't possible to tell if a 28 year old will pull out of their depression given some more years, or if it really is life-long and untreatable. Show me a test that determines what their future is with some kind of accuracy.

Are you some kind of arbiter of bodies and lives of others? If not, what's your business with that?
