RE: Psychology Addict # 26 | Depression – Where to Draw the Line?

Agree that there should be a deeper understanding about depression as the as those interventions and/or medications could be just a bad option. Sometimes if not often, people nowadays tend to use the word depression in describing their being in a bad mood or being sad. While others did not recognized that they are already depressed and did not seek help for it whether professional help or through sharing it to others.

Absolutely @zararina, the way I see this is :

1. People no longer accept their lows in life. Because we live in a world where being sad or low seems to be 'wrong'; I suppose that is because everyone is 'so amazing' in their virtual lives. Anyways, you know how this goes...
2. Therefore, when someone is sad or low 'there must be' something wrong with them. Then, like you said: the word depression is used loosely. We must find a way to spread this sort of information @zararina :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and comment :)
