I agree with this 100%. Long ago I had clinical depression and boredom played little (if any) role in it. Another thing I see often is people substituting “boredom” or “depression” for what is really just “languishing.” You can be one without the other or they could be overlapping, but they’re not the same. To me, depression involved hopelessness or antipathy, which were not intrinsic to boredom or the apathy/exhaustion of languishing.
