Reclassify the illness known as 'Depression'

Additional Information

Investigate the possibility of reclassifying the illness known as 'Depression' so that it has a more descriptive and less misleading name. Too many people still don't understand what Depression is. It is far, far more than simply 'feeling down' and it deserves a more accurate official medical description to recognise it as a diagnosable illness.
