No way dude! Depression just gives emos an excuse to cut themselves! Same way cancer isn't real, it's just people being weak and lazy!!! I've came to this conclusion by completely ignoring all modern day science, facts and proven theories! Also, we didn't evolve!! We were MADE this way by GOD!! And Gay people are harmful to society!!! WHITE POWER!!

^ Sums up the kind of person i instantly assumed you were after reading your post. Depression exists in the same way tree's exist. F*cking obvious to everyone except you.

Guys, everyone experiences depression at some time in their lives.

This person will eventually experience severe hopelessness and understand how dumb this post was.

Depression is as real as every other mental disorder that we have a name for, and in some cases is equally as detrimental to a persons health.

Ofcourse it's a real disorder :facepalm:
The thing you should be calling bullshit is people saying they have it as soon as they feel upset whatever.

People get depression mixed up with being sad for a few hours.

Depression is very long lasting, and can cause problems with social life, and can even lead to death (If you are suicidal)

Are you 10 years old, a spoiled brat who gets everything or just a full blown idiot? Of course depression is real, now fair enough far too many people play on it to get time off work, but its very serious, when you suffer depression it can feel like you have no one, like you are on your own, theres no looking up, that nothing is worth living for, thoughts which can lead for too many people to suicide, so its not a load of shit at all, its very real and very serious, not a laughing matter tbh

I hate to see so much illiterate's believing this. If you used google, you'd realize it's a real disease, or else it wouldn't be diagnosed by real doctors.

Actually depression is not a disease, it is a disorder. Scientists have yet to prove that any physical change in the brain can cause depression, though they have proven that depression can cause physical changes. Before you get mad at me, I'm not saying I think depression is fake, I very much believe it is real, but it is very hard to pinpoint exactly what causes it and what its symptoms are.

And to correct you, doctors do know full well the symptoms of depression, the problem especially with men, is that they try to hide any symptoms of depression, try to bottle it in, the symptoms are known, both physical and mental aspects [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And to correct you for correcting me: Of course some symptoms can be correlated with depression, and some symptoms are common with depression, but it is not concrete. For example, one symptom of depression can be insomnia, but not everybody with depression has insomnia. One symptom of depression can be weight gain, yet another one is weight loss. Therefore it is very difficult to diagnose someone with depression solely based on symptoms because of how individual these symptoms can be, it is not in any way comparable to diagnosing someone with the flu, which has universal symptoms.

Depression is a very real thing, my mother went through it for a while after I was born, and from what my father told me about it, it wasn't pretty.
