It is needless to remind her that Churchill, too, suffered from bouts of depression?

It's not her. It's the bureaucracy that scares me. It already discarded another young woman I know - ashesofautumn - to be rejected becaused of supposed psychic problems. I am sure that Kate will let nothing stand between her and her desired career, but it's not her choice, it's the Army's choice.

BTW, I think you would like both girls - if ashesofautumn ever posts again.

PS: I think I can post about this because both ladies have posted about it in their LJs.

i believe depression to be a curable condition.

You might want to discuss the matter with her. I have a relative who has suffered from an extremely serious case of it all her life; she is now about seventy, and has been through the best and most qualified specialists in Rome with no result. When the black dog strikes, it strikes. That is my experience.
