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?

Your friend is quite ignorant to what is out there in the world... you and i have spoken at great length, and i know that you're quite aware of many things. i also thank you greatly for keeping that to yourself as it allows me to operate here freely such as i do, and it's nice to know that for once i can actually "trust' someone. you can as well...what we've spoken of stays between you and i alone. mental illness IS real, emotions are also real. but there is indeed a border, and a crossing of those borders. And i know that you're intelligent enough to know better. i'd be willing to speak with you about the other portions(mine) if you would like, if not that is fine too. but not everything, nor everyone is so cut and dried as simply "happy, or sad"
