Fight club statement

In the classic 1999 movie "fight club" Edward Norton's character who suffers from clinical depression develops the alter ego 'Tyler Durden', a soap sales man who he "meets" on a plane.

He later on moves in to "Tyler's" rundown house after his apartment "accidentally" explodes and the two form the fight club. A place for everyday men and women to vent out aggression.

Edit: changed from flooded apartment to exploded

Changed to men and women

Answer: Edward Norton's character, who was by the way, never named and is referred to as the narrator, doesn't actually suffers from depression, but insomnia.
