I know depression usually has a grave cause and astronauts have quite an active schedule. But say their family dies. Depression makes you think and perceive time differently. Surely wouldn’t it become a risk to the mission? You can’t steamroll over it…

    I definitely agree that depression is heavily circumstantial. The times when I’ve had it there was always a clear cause and the depression eventually dissipated once I managed to deal with that cause.
