Do you believe in depression and anxiety disorders?

According to one of my friends everybody gets sad and anxious it's just a lack of willpower. He doesn't believe in most mental health conditions. What do you think?

I think normal emotions have been given high sounding names and turned into mental illnesses. It's such a shame because people then blame that invented illness for their problems. Maybe 5% of the population really have mental illness. The rest is false belief.

Chip on the shoulder = bipolar
Stuck in a rut = obsessive compulsive
