Would people be more understanding about depression if it had physical symptoms ?
The fact that you cannot see it, doesn't mean it's not there and that it is not less important than a physical illness.

Some people think depression isn't real. They don't realize what it does to you emotionally or physically. You're not being lazy. You are fighting a very tough state of mind that doesn't care what you should be doing. It zaps your energy and your desire to live life fully.
