Wow Ilya, you sure write a lot!
I understand fully what you are trying to explain.
But all my encounters of passions are associated with strong positive feelings for something. (The something can be negative, but it is positive feeling for that negative thing)
Using your example, a person with passionate depression, which i interpret as a person who love to get into the emotional state of depression. Depression is negative, but the person love it. That's why he is passionate about it. I never come across people describe their hate or dislike for something as passion, until now!
Even the definition lust means the person loves sex!
When someone said he is passionate about jogging, what comes to your mind? Honestly, the only thing that comes to my mind is he loves jogging! If you said he hates jogging, it just doesn't sound right! (I did not say it is wrong, just does not sound right)
Just my personal view on passion.
