I think it would be a good idea. It's a very sensitive subject for some. And I know of a couple of folks (not on here) who are physically debilitated when the depression rolls around. One of them does not eat for days because she simply cannot revive herself enough to get up out of bed. So she has a roommate who cooks for her and coaxes her to eat.
She cycles through it, and when it's over, she can't believe how unmotivated she was. Just comes on really strong. No amount of thinking or exercising can fix it. Medication, though, I know has helped.
