Clinical depression symptoms may include:

• Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day
• Loss of interest or pleasure in most activities
• Significant weight loss or gain
• Sleeping too much or not being able to sleep nearly every day
• Slowed thinking or movement that others can see
• Fatigue or low energy nearly every day
• Feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt
• Loss of concentration or indecisiveness
• Recurring thoughts of death or suicide

To meet the criteria for clinical depression (called major depression in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), you must have five or more of the above symptoms over a two-week period. At least one of the symptoms must be either a depressed mood or a loss of interest or pleasure. Keep in mind, some types of depression may not fit this strict definition.

And then there are the speaking tours. His appetite for travel will no longer be on tax payers dime, but doesn't he and his family have Secret Service protection for life?
Won't the Mooselle get protection too. Is that the definition of double dipping?
Seems like the only time they are together is for a photo-op.
