Having had family members who have been devastated by it, I don't joke about mental illness; but in my opinion the entire Democratic Party is mentally unstable...deranged in fact.

Mental illness is indeed nothing to joke about, I agree with you. However, depression is not mental illness in any sense of the word, this is just another PC liberal excuse for a normal condition we have all faced at one time or another.

The difference is some of us pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again as the saying says. We have too many "illnesses" these days that are really just part of the human experience. Calling every "mood'"a mental illness is degrading to those who really have one. Who wouldn't be depressed after your child almost dies? Who wouldn't be depressed when you lost an election? This is normal, not an illness.
