Blaine Anderson was clinically depressed. His mother had decided this two weeks into his sophomore year at Dalton Academy, after he came home for the weekend and spent the entire time holed up in his room listening to melancholy orchestra recordings and refusing to shower.

He was prime material for clinical depression, really.
