Feelings of severe despondency and dejection. Depression is a mood disorder characterised by persistently low mood and a feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It is a persistent problem, not a passing one, lasting on average 6 to 8 months. Diagnosis of depression starts with a consultation with a doctor or mental health specialist. It is important to seek the help of a health professional to rule out different causes of depression, ensure an accurate differential diagnosis, and secure safe and effective treatment.

I used to think I was just going through a tough time, thinking it was just nothing, however the persistence of my emotions and the way I feel just couldn’t be ignored so I decided to go to the doctors about it; it was then that I had found out I have depression and anxiety.

Get the Depressionmug. The worst felling ever. You can never ever get rid of it. People will think it’s just people crying . It’s way worst. Depression can lead to anxiety or suicide. Depression is also when ur constantly crying every single second of the day. Putting on fake smiles. Cutting. It takes a long time to stop being depressed and it hurts a lot if u don’t have depression don’t say u do because it’s not something to joke around about. People also fake depression for attention and that’s what gets me mad the most they say they cut but have never proved it the say oh I stabbed myself right here yesterday but it’s gone now. If u stabbed urself it won’t be that fast to get ride of.
Why do u have depression

Get the Depressionmug. a deep lingering feeling of intense sadness or grief, hopelessness, intense anguished apathy. a person in depression cannot conceive of a solution, cannot move to any purpose and exists kind of like an automation. quite often caused by a severe loss or threat of a loss. (note: has nothing to do with your brain "balance" or any chemical drugs which big pharma mafia is trying to push on you every other decade under new names and with no science to back their lavish advertisement trying to push forward mild placebo effect and hide wast horrific side effects).
Dr: your depression is back, so we are going to put you on Lexapro. It will also help to alleviate the side effects of Zoloft that you started having last month. (I hope you don't die before your insurance runs out, cuz i don't really know what the hell i am doing here)

Get the depressionmug. Firstly, depression is NOT a disease. Fuck the people who are brainwashed to thinking so. Depression is a state of mind which is persistant because, lets face it, life is depressing for the masses. Dont let the media fool you into believing their bullshit. You are normal, you hate your life because you are being used and always will be most likely. You have to fight this and continue on. I do it through a simple litany-- "because fuck them". That is it. Why let anyone else take advantage of your unhappiness by taking your money, most likely leaving you in a more depressing position???? Piss on them, fight back, live to see them fail since they are part of the source of your depression! Another thing, the world, a.k.a. your gov, is very depressing to even contemplate, so until a revolution you should work around or with it to meet your goals. Never be put off by the sad state of affairs worldwide, what have they to do with you on the small scale(sometimes a lot more than others but still)? When all else fails, and I'm not shittin' you, say "Fuck It!". At that point anything in your way becomes dogmeat and <god?> help it! Right! Fuck this depressing shithole and keep your life because you will never know if it is all you have until its over and not even then if you aren't religous such as me. Just don't give up because you live in the same shite the majority has had for billions of years. Its called mediocrity nowadays, live and let live is the only solution and drop the "American Dream" because it died the day that all big corps were made concrete. You have no disease, my friend. Fuck them all! You have a concept known as reality and they dont want to live there because it doesn't profit them! "you are probably smarter than them in fact"
I was totally encompassed by depression when every movie sucked last year, and every tv show is reality, and boy bands rocked the coast!
Whoa, what are you? Some kind of corp clone sent to destroy all thinking in the world with feel-good drugs?
Yeah! I'm the new don up in this bitch!
OH! <shotgun-blasts are heard>
