Well, I'm sure a lot of people here have seen the commercials for....Detrol LA? Wait, no that's he peeing thing....Well, the commercial for an anti-depressant, well, they treat it as if it's a big disease! I mean, it's just a phase that a lot of people go through, whether it be due to past problems, or just plain monotony. Tell me what you think:DEPRESSION:Disease or Phase?

Depression......a disease?!
-
it's an illness, that really once you're diagnosed never fully goes away, it always lingers, comes and goes really, you can be good for a few years, and then it can come back again
-
Yes, it's a serious disease. 20% of people with it end up dying from it, so it deserves to be taken seriously.
-
Depression is not a disease, it is what you get when you see through all the bullshit propaganda brainwashing sin illnesses that affect 'happy, normal' people.So, that means you have knowledge of The Secrets of The Universe - Smile!

huh?

Agreed.

It's a mental disorder which means it's a disease. Some people just have a hard time going through things and can't get out of the negative thinking. While others (this is what the drugs are for) have a chemical imbalance in their brain. There is weather related depression. So it is a disease when clinically diagnosed by a professional. By the people walking around moping saying "I'm depressed" and they are going through a hard time that's less than 2 weeks, it's a phase.
