@TheReviewer24 I talked to my girlfriend about it, she had the same beliefs as most people and wouldn't listen, thinking I was weak. I finally persuaded her to look at a few websites explaining depression, one was 'ways to insult someone with depression' (google it). It wasn't meant to show her how horrible she had been that she had had the same thoughts or said what was listed, but it really hit home because it proved to her that her misconceptions were wrong. Take care, contact me if you wish.

@TheReviewer24 I'm 24 and have suffered for years, and while my mum and dad know I have suffered from depression, they still have no idea what it is and think it is just feeling sad and being lazy. I've come to watch this video to find things I can say to them to explain what it is and what I have been going through. I'm going to write them a letter describing how it is an illness, I think that will be the best way, and suggest you could try that?

Clinical depression is very serious. It doesnt go away w.out help. Hospitalization, meds and/or therapy are acceptable treatments. Only recently was I told of the actual differences in reg. sadness vs. depression. I'm lucky that I got the help I needed when I did. U think it can't happen to u, but life is not always controllable. There is strength in getting help- it doesn't make u weak. U may have nothing left to lose.

I know exactly how you feel. You pretty much said what I was thinking. It's not a nice feeling :(

I wish there was some way out of it or at least someone there with me.

I am depressed. I know if I had just one friend in the world it would make me feel a lot better and change my life. But I don't because I can't make friends. I have always been an outsider. What did I do wrong to deserve this pain and loneliness? I just wanna die...

this video is the worst possible thing a depressed person could watch! this music could make the happiest person turn into an emotional wreck!

Is there any other way to treat depression other than mess
