    So you vote nostalgia. Because nostalgia is just perception while depression is a mental health issue.

    Well, no. Stress and trauma both involve perception. My main point was that experience compounds, and that is a different explanation than faulty memory. I would also say that if you split this beyond just bad and good, a small change in life circumstance can actually make a big difference particularly near rock bottom.

    Nostalgia seems like a different concept/situation for me, one that I personally would say is linked to escapism (particularly with experiencing media it’s only a loose connection to that time) at least for younger generations.
