Depression Is Real [Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance]

[Zatinie]

Depression is a construction of weak minded, attention whoring, pathetic and selfish people who believe themselves to be more important than everyone else.

Ooh. I really like this commercial. It comes close to showing what depression can be like.

Unless you have dealt with a major episode of debilitating depression.....don't act like you are a certified professional. Just because you can voice your worthless half-assed opinion on fucking Youtube doesn't mean you can go around scaring people that really need the help they need to keep going in life. And being depressed isn't something that's "all in your head"...you PHYSICALLY cannot get out of bed or even speak because it drags you down to where you move like a 75 year old man.

@MelbaToast454 yes very real took me about 3 decades to finally get controll but in the beginning it felt like i was suffocating... godawful feeling

[Alora666]

it can be called a disease, illness, etc. regardless of what one wants to label it it is all too real & debilitating & we all need to have compassion for one another

[mistofoles]

I can't believe how ignorant some people are! Depression is NOT a disease, it is a mental illness. A disease is a "physical", contagious illness.

[supersquabbit]

If you pause at the end you'll see a list of all the organizations that worked on this. I think they would know. Depression does have physical causes. And not all diseases are contagious. Otherwise you'd be able to catch cancer.

No, I know all about depression,I should do, I suffer from it
