Undepression

The volatile acid was identified as isovaleric acid by comparison of its infrared spectrum with that of an authentic sample and by undepression of mixed melting points of their p-bromophenacylester.

Take this matter of Depression; it is caused by Being Miserable, which is in turn caused by Being Fed-up. Could we but unfeed ourselves, undepression would naturally follow.

If we are depressed, for example, it does no good to try to be "undepressed" or to somehow change ourselves. It does do good, however, to cultivate the soil of the soul with the ingredients of grace, truth, and time, and then we will gradually be transformed to greater stages of "undepression," or joy.
