because in this day and age it's trendy to have mental illness
I'm very mature right? Lol
You are
i mean i am an anxious person, but ive never had anything diagnosed, ofc
@the neighborhood eboy people use the word mental illness too loosely this day and age
kids think somehow being sad every now and then is depression
I honestly don't like it when people claim they have depression just for attention
i mean
or they milk their mental illness
in the, hows it said, colecial? Or something?
Ughhhhhhhhhhh
or misdiagnose themselves on purpose
Makes me anxious to admit that I am diagnosed with clinical depression
People without real mental illness has killed the meaning
I know a few people who do that
@transtrenders
in whatever its called terms, you could refer to sadness as "depression" and not the mental illness
So it's like
Don't self-diagnose
colequial or somethinf
Pls
I misdiagnosed myself when I was 13 due to lack of education on the subject
Doctors said i was depressed i needed meds i told them to stick it and didnt do it
but now I have a proper diagnosis
again, i dont feel like its always self diagnosing idiots tho
could just be people saying they're "depressed" as a way to aay theyre sad
The thing is, most people will go through depression, but it's often their lifestyle choices that breeds that depression, or a bad experience which they need to get through. But most of the time you can get through it by getting help. But it's not something you brag about, liek you don't brag about being sick
Yeah, but
and education on the thing I don't quite have a diagnosis for yet
I heard those meds can really fuck with you
Saying "I'm depressed" and "I have depression" are two different things
Oh
nvm then im brain dead
that's true but I believe the term "depressed" is used too loosely
I don't blame you actually
I meant that i had depression not depressed
A lot of teenagers would be getting depression because the mentality around not sleeping and staying up late " sleep i for the weak", and lack of sleep does make depression worse.
It is
Depression is a common mental disorder that causes people to experience depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration. **Depression is different from feeling down or sad.**
anyway, i myself feel like I have the "symptoms" of stuff like anxiety, but ive never been diagnosed, not that ive ever been checked
