In face there are people here, and outside of here that think its just a character flaw and they are weak. They feel with healthy eating, exercise and etc that they can overcome this illness. This my pet peeve. This is a chemical imbalance...now I am not talking about the situational depression caused by a crisis etc, but a real depression or bi-polar illness caused by the fact that the brain does not react normally. I hate the fact that in 2012 we still consider this something we can overcome by sheer will! It just angers me that we have not progressed enough to see this is an illness like any other.
Yes I totally agrees its sucks that people don't understand. Maybe your friend will eventually "get" it!!
