Winston Churchill used to describe his depression as an ever-present "black dog". It has become a metaphor for the feeling of depression. I was given a great book as a present called "I Had A Black Dog" by Matthew Johnstone, which contains terrific cartoon illustrations. Highly recommended to put the black dog in his place!
