“Disappointments and problems in life have nothing to do with it. A depressed person hates life and doesn’t feel like living. A bad event can push them over the edge but they always have that feeling inside.”

They have EVERYTHING to do with DEPRESSION!

Clearly you don’t understand depression. In EVERY situation there is a REASON for the depression. Every single situation! Perhaps they have low self esteem. Perhaps it is a divorce. Perhaps they lost their job. There is ALWAYS a reason for depression. ALWAYS! It most definitely NOT a “chemical imbalance” - that’s pure bunk.

ROTFLOL!

Now I get it... You’re not really an idiot...you’re just doing a spoof.

Hehehe... how about this one....

Nobody’s handicapped...they can just get up and walk if they want to!

Or ... nobody has diabetes...they just don’t want to stay concious!!! This chemical imbalance thing is just bunk to sell insulin!

Hey, this is pretty funny!

Everyone goes through bad times. But depression is feeling down even in ‘good’ times.

The time I was most depressed, everything was going ‘great’ but it didn’t feel that way.

It hit me the hardest when I realized there was no reason to be depressed but I still was. I had everything I wanted but hated myself even more for still being down and not appreciating what I had.

When you’re not happy with life and don’t see any way to improve it, suicide sticks in your mind. It’s always there and the only question for me was ‘when’ and not ‘if’.

I managed to get better by radically changing my diet and eating lots of vitamin rich food. There had to have been a chemical imbalance since I am not constantly depressed anymore for no reason. My life is actually harder now than while I was depressed.

I never went on the meds because I refused to put synthetics into my body. The brain is so complex that nobody knows how they work. I was more afraid of the meds than suicide.

I do get down sometimes but only when there are good reasons for it. This is normal and not depression.

IMO, many cases of depression today are due to junk food. There are thousands of chemicals in food today that weren’t used before and I doubt they were tested for psychological effects.
