Unfortunately, depression did run in the Lewis family. I've read the evidence, about he murder, too. Fascinating.
(Good summary as any: smithsonianmag.com/history/mer…s-death-144006713/?no-ist)
I, frankly, don't know enough to say one way or another. But deep depression for a person who was ON only when there was adventure going is a sad tale that is common. Shackleton also suffered from depression and aimlessness when on not a journey for example.
On a side note, the HBO series is a little closer to being aired. The powers that be hired a new writer, but it is still happening.
