Many people don't believe it is a real biological disease for many of us. For me it is very debilitating and serious. Praying to die each night and being suicidal is serious. It's very biological for me and serious when I have it and nothing works but I don't always have it. It seems bi polar is seen as a real disease and depression is not. I think this is because there can be so many different causes for depression and most people have some experience feeling a little depressed but with bi polar it is seen as a much more straight forward biological disease that a person can't help. Yes I find it very frustrating because my depression and anxiety is a straight forward biological disease and I can't help it but it is not usually seen that way.
