This is true.
I come from a family that struggles with clinical depression. It seems all the females in my family have it. It doesn't matter what they do, it's always there. And they will probably always have it.
I had the situational depression with the death of my wife. And I was worried that I would become like them. After 2 months of taking some low doses of medication I stopped taking it and continued my therapy. I still have my sad moments for sure. But it's not that overwhelming sadness and wishing for it all to end. Just a normal person now with all the highs and lows as to be expected.
So it depends on the person.
Damn. Life can be so tough, sorry about that.
You're right.
I feel like I had to say something cause people don't really get it.
I used to downplay these things, till it happened to me.
Used to say, "Climb out of it already."
Wrong approach.
All good. Death can be senseless and happens to good people. We all just do the best we can.
But yeah. A lot of ignorant keyboard warriors on here. It's not as black and white as some make it out to be. There is a personal responsibility aspect of it that comes into play when it comes to trying to treat the different causes of depression. As there is a lot of resources now. I know this is a place for people to log on and act retarded. But I'm sure there are some spergs on here who actually believe some of the shit being thrown out.
