Summary
This quote suggests that depression is the result of repressed or suppressed anger or rage. Instead of expressing anger outwardly, it is hidden and not effectively released, which can lead to feelings of depression. Depression is seen as a diffusion or spreading out of this inner rage, permeating one's emotions and overall well-being. It implies that addressing and channeling anger or rage in healthy ways can potentially help prevent or manage depression.
