No, having depression does not equal being crazy. The term "crazy" isn't a legitimate term anyway... unless it is used to describe the erratic way someone is driving, or the strange way a dust devil crosses a desert. IMO

Most ppl at one time in their life, will experience some depression. Many need some type of medication to restablize. The main goal is to feel better and begin thinking clearer... if meds help, then so be it!

What you are thinking is probably being produced because of your depression. Depression tells us lies and makes us feel guilty if we don't believe those lies. Stay on your meds... they begin working immediately, but the longer someone has put off addressing their depression, the more likely it will take a bit more med to stablize them.

This isn't a purely imaginated disorder... it isn't ALL in your head as in your mind... it's in your body... finally MDs are seeing this, and addressing the physical symptoms that depression also causes.

No, you're not crazy. You don't have to tell anyone IRL about the depression. That way, they won't be able to tell you from the next guy who is struggling with something. TC!
