RIP, famous person

It's not being sad. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Depressed people can't just "get on with it".

You won't recognize it and identify it in people. If you've not had it, it's very hard to really understand what it is.

I knew a ghetto dweller whose doctors had him on anti-depressants until he became very obese and had to use a wheelchair. But when they took him off the drugs, he was suicidal. They decided staying on them was the best course of action.
