however, I find that I regularly experience temporary spurts of depression lasting a few hours

The word depression in his medical meaning doesn't describe a state that lasts hours. Maybe you mean an emotion like sadness?

I don't think I'd class it under sadness. Despair might be the right word. Once it hits, I find it very hard to function and when it passes I feel grateful I don't keep loaded weapons in the house.
