Yes, they DO very simply describe any/every person out there... However, if they significantly impair your life somehow, THAT'S what adds up to the "disorder". I'm sure you wouldn't want people saying your depression is invalid because everyone DOES get depressed at some point in your lives... It affects you & everything you do. Most people can brush it off by watching a funny movie or calling up a friend. Just like most people can just knock off their criminal activity, connect to their emotions, & behave like a normal human being. But if it were that simple, would we even BE here?
