Don't Be a Know it All

To those who think depression is just being sad and you can snap yourself out of it, you have never had clinical depression, and you don't know what it is like.
Very good thing, but it is hardly helpful to get mad at someone who does.
They cannot help it, their brain chemistry is messed up.
Would you tell someone with chest pains now, buck up and not have a heart attack, loser? Would you visit them at the hospital and tell them it's their fault and they should just think positively so they don't have stress and won't have another episode?
Would you tell them all about your hobbies and how they should do the same to avoid another heart attack?
Because, frankly, it is just as ridiculous to say this to a clinically depressed person.

Any unhelpful or unkind remarks will be removed.
