MDD is a real disability. It can and often is precipitated by environmental triggers, and episodes can resolve once the environment is changed. Just because someone experiences remission in such a case doesn't mean they don't have a disorder that should be treated prior to another episode. Dichotomizing chemical and psychological/environmental is harmful.
