yes i also feel depression is a label we are given,
i have been off work now for over 6 months, and my boss and work mates dont understand , they just think its a easy way to get time off work, i wish i could get back to work and bring some money into the house .
even my own family dont understand they just see that im off work and on meds, they expect me to be the same person i was before .........
i wish they would come up with a different name for depression..... like.... "life disorder " or something like that...
omg i started off by answering a post and ended ranting away .... sorry
