I also suffer from depression. I have found that I am best living alone, but with two dogs as company. Solitude is how I recover.
*By 'Medical reasons' I include depression. Depression is a legitimate medical condition.

This is something that I have only properly discovered this year. Finding, then doing things that make me happy has done me a world of good. Life is too short not to. It gives me something to look forward to, helping me to pull through the crappy moments.
I can also echo the importance of pets. Their love is uncomplicated, unconditional and non-judgemental. Knowing my best mate is waiting to greet me at home at the end of the day gets me through the tuff stuff.
