IMHO, mentally depression is the inability to be resilient. When one comes face to face with hardship, and your life breaks down to pieces, you have to pick up the pieces and move on. For some, it just affects their thinking and even ability to look at life as a whole. I know several real life examples but not sure if there is a medical study done on this.
But I agree with the fact that Neha was a much more supportive wife to Abhi than Simran, probably because they both worked in the same field, may be there was no opposition from both the families unlike in Simran's case. You have to admit that Mrs.Saxena had mellowed down a lot after "Kiran" episode. It should be noted that Neha had several blessings in spite of her problems with Simran-Abhi relationship. Her mother was back to normal, she married the man of her dreams and even the in-laws were nice and supportive, she was going to have a baby and Abhi for all his faults treated Neha very well. No one has a perfect life.
