This is the prejudice/discrimination that we with mental illness have to deal with day in/day out.
Those who have never experienced depression find it hard to empathize and instead believe we are "faking" or "can snap out of it upon will" when this isnt the case at all.

It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
