it's not a mental illness,it's a reaction to certain life's events. and it's up to us to control it without any medications..

do you don't believe mental illnesses exist? so a person rich with a grate life full of friends cant possibly have depression? i know high class people who have many friends but still have depression, its because there is a chemical imbalance not because of events. they had no possible events that could have happens to create this.

@faefairy: i dont think it is a person can think the happiest thoughts but if they have a chemical imbalance they will still feel unhappy from thoes thoughts. i was crying watching happy movies because i was sad my life was not as happy as theirs.

@faefairy: you may understand your depression but for many people i know it is not caused or controlled by their own thoughts.
