Lincoln's Melancholy: How Depression Challenged a President and Fueled His Greatness by Joshua Wolf Shenk p. 69

"For some people, psychological health is a birthright. For many others, like Abraham Lincoln, it is the realization of great labor."

I think this book is great in showing how depression can actually be an asset, and also provide a very positive rold model for people prone to depression. Yes, for some people staying happy and sane takes effort.
