Depression isn't something that needs to be hidden away, kept secret, or be ashamed over.
Depression is a chemical imbalance that can often be fixed with drugs. It's just like pneumonia - if you're sick, you take drugs so you can feel better.
There's no reason not to talk about it. And the more we talk about it, the more people won't be afraid to seek help. The more we talk about it, the more we might change the minds of people who think depression should be a secret, something talked about in hushed tones or gossiped over.
It's a chemical imbalance. That's it. Lots of people have it and lots of people are interested in how other people have controlled it. Maybe they need ideas, maybe they're thinking about getting help and want to know how it works, maybe they're just interested.
There's over 400 hits on this thread. SOMEONE is interested.
