With regards to depression itself, I have found that sympathy can be a driver and an enabler of depression... because it is pleasurable to be sympathized with, giving sympathy actually encourages the continuation of depressive behavior.

I think you are right.
please note I said I do not want sympathy just an acknowledgment of the reality of the condition. And yes there are people who claim to be depressed but are not - and that makes it harder for people like me to get a voice heard.
I have a little personal crusade to get the profile of depression raised.
warm regards.
