I have no stunning wisdom to add. But perhaps part of our purpose is to be brazen about our depression. Not to hide it. But to be willing to openly tell others that we have an illness and we are WORKING, working hard on defeating it.

Thereby lessening the burden of future generations.

I am not saying that is our purpose... I do not know. But, if there was not the stigma that does exist.... wouldn't our battle be easier? Then perhaps I can be a small part of changing that stigma.
