I find this statement offensive and do not even understand why you are posting these thoughts on a forum such as this one. Comments like these are what keep people like me from even mentioning depression to family members. Most of my family and friends do not know that I have been suffering in private for some 20 years. I hope you will see the light one day, sir. If you spent even one day in my shoes, you would understand why I cannot function without meds or therapy.
Thanks for this!
