Not really. Depression is more like a damn weakness....
Ok so me and needto are I seperated (no not really), so I have 2 choices. I can either lay on the couch being "depressed" for weeks, or I can move on.
Ok another example, people get fired from their jobs. Either they can let it ruin them or they can be strong about it.
Life is whatever you make it out to be!
You can either let shit drag you down by being careless or you can raise your head when shit dont go right and move on!

well i guess your better than most everyone else.

im truely happy for you that you are this strong

Nobody cares about your stupid anecdotes, because you obviously aren't depressed. nobody chooses to be depressed; If you have a choice than you aren't really depressed. Why don't you also go around telling people with alzheimers to stop being so forgetful? "gee, i could be careless and forget all this stuff or i can just try hard to remember it and then i remember! teeheehee"

what about people who feel like absolute shit no matter what they do? what good does "moving on" do for these people? It's a total slap in the face to anyone who's ever suffered from a mood disorder when you dismiss their condition as weakness, simply because you don't understand it and don't care to either.

AGREED!

unfortunately in this day and age, there is so much hype about anti-depressants being bad and causing people to kill themselves (the media doesnt help) and people abusing prescription drugs (yes some do, but only a small %age) and doctors are also handing out meds like tic-tacs (some quacks have, yes). so, the general population who wouldnt otherwise have any information at all about Clinical Depression or Psychopharmacology, base their attitude about it on what they hear from the media and other uninformed individuals.

That article was depressing.

Until all these oral non-masculine drugs started coming out at 10x the price and 10x the administration rate, they used testosterone to treat male depression and it usually worked like a charm.

You know that a lot of anti-depressants (Prozac for example) lower sex drives? I pretty much grew up on that shit. Bloody hell.
I should've been fed dbol instead.

Thinking too much can cause it,...... that's why I come to Elite Fitness. LOL

You're absolutely right. This is how ocd starts too, I think (no pun), which also can turn into depression.

An active mind is a healthy mind.
