Depression is quite real, it's a disorder and has medicine that increases the activity of the endorphins in your body to make you happy.
I have a scenario for you, and you can tell me whether you think depression is real after this.
One night, you decided your going to party your hearts content. You're a completely drug free happy person. You find there's some drugs and alcohol there, little by little you end up taking some of these drugs. You end up passing out, not knowing that you just took some drugs that released all the endorphins in your body. The next morning you wake up sobered up and without any endorphins. (Endorphins are your bodies natural "happy" drug/enzyme). You decided maybe I should get that wonderful feeling again with those same drugs. You take those drugs again, the happiness doesn't come back. (This is because your body can't produce happiness due to there being no endorphin reserves) You continue to take these drugs, little by little they kill your body. Eventually about a month later you can't take being sad all the time, you commit suicide. Now you tell me is depression real? Is it a real disorder? Or do you think, all of those people who took that drug and are in the same boat without any endorphins, are just trying to get attention. Not all of them get attention, there's billions of people on this planet, of course they know they aren't going to have a huge chance of becoming popular. Yet they are depressed because THEY CAN'T HELP IT. I can't believe that someone would be soo stupid and ignorant as to believe depression isn't real. But I suppose, someone who hasn't had depression wouldn't know.
-my point has been said, my input freely spoken. I am done, I just hope that you will believe depression is a real thing and needs to be worried about.

"-Chicago you ignorant slut. Depression is a very serious illness. Over 32,000 people commit suicide every year according to a 2004 study. "
