With the words that begin with "de", be wary. Most often, this is not good at all. The evidence: haircut and deflation, decommissioning and disorganization, failure and degreasing, not to mention of decline and decadence, without forgetting debacle and crumbling, out of step and distress... It cannot be said of good omen. The worst of all, of course, it is still "depression". The recession, we now dare talking about. But the depression, no one wants even consider it really. The term refers to the economists a nightmare landscape: contraction deep and sustainable activity. All lower then (demand, production, revenue) except the unemployment.
For nothing arrange, weather, when it talks about depression, announces a tidal wave, cyclones, typhoons, or more modestly rain, thunderstorms and the grey time. Known as soon as the navigation is risky and turbulence at the Rendez-vous. Depression on the horizon Need to divert, redo the flight plan or expect to be shaken. Because disruptions, as observers, will be at the Rendez-vous. And again, the weather, this is not the worst.
It is in the psychs course, depression eventually turn to the great disaster. There, it is collapsed, the decompensation, asthenia, discouragement and anxiety. The deep fall into inaction, dismay, despair. The feeling as it does to leaves more, that everything is broken and never depleted energy. It succumbs and diving... Everything becomes sad and shrinking, in circularity which seems endless: sad because it is shrinking, shrinking because sad. The philosopher Spinoza knew for a long time: sadness, said, "reduces our power to act."
In fact, these different sense eventually to contaminate. Whether we like it or not, the economic depression evokes one day or another big time to the marine weather. Who therefore have not heard, since September, to speak of "Storm" in the markets From there, there is nothing to do with the "skull storm under one" and the multiple figures of mental, nervous, mental depression. We're almost by imagining an economic depression as a large atmospheric disturbance which would leave us morale to zero.
A minor antidote, but may be inefficient step, is found in the earlier meanings of this word. Before that there are psychoanalysts, meteorologists and economists, what was called "depression" was well harmless. The first use of the word is surgical. It appears in French in 1314, in a Treaty of medicine, to refer to a light sagging of the skin. When it has extracted a tumour, or closed injury, it remains to the surface a hollow: a depression. This use will be repeated and amplified for centuries by geographers and geologists: depression, for them, only means the opposite of a bump or swelling. Thus they speak of depression marine or fluvial, a low pressure area. Nothing dramatic. Only a toilet.
This may well help us. If we look at the economic depression as the surgeons and geographers, it would be a few nightmares less. Nothing than a passenger trough, with edges to go back on the other side. A slope, and a return to the previous level. This is better than these thick maelströms and these bottomless abysses that we took the bad habit to keep in mind. At the same time, it will be recalled that there are some positive uses of the prefix "de". This will allow dé-contaminer our representation of the dé-dramatiser depression, or even the dé-psychologiser. In the aftermath, one could almost imagine that dé-pression meant that falling pressure. As long as to play, select, ultimately rather premiums depressed.
