I'm uncomfortable with the distinguishing of people who have depression and do not, I'm not sure it helps people suffering depression - like myself at periods - to be reminded of the difference.
I've found when under those dark clouds that I am far more negative in general, than I am otherwise. I wouldn't say my assessment of situations are more accurate or that I am more optimistic when I am not feeling depressed.
If anything, I'd say I'm feeling harsher on myself, and are more likely to judge myself harshly for what I feel are perceived failures or faults in something that I have done.
Of course, this is just my experience. Others may/will have experienced differently.
