MISUNDERSTOOD EPIDEMIC: DEPRESSION

[jdubya611]

I saw this last year, I have tried to find it and thankful for You Tube and a quick search. I have been depressed, I guess all my life but it really had the tightest grip once I hit puberty. For anyone that thinks depressions is just someone having a bad day or a tough time that will pass, I would urge them to see this. To anyone that has lost a loved on to suicide linked to depression, see this.

Is being melodramatic a symptom, or is that just how you're supposed to look at it?

@winstono75 I am not sure about the medically described symptoms but from my personal experience and interaction with other people suffering from depression it is a normal symptom of depression. By the way there is a nice chat room called depressionhangout(dotcom) that you can join if you are looking for support and interaction with other people suffering from depression and other mental health problem

There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot­-dot-com.

Saw this on television; it was eye-opening to say the least.
