I think all this "clinical depression" is a ruse to get pills and/or attention. Call me closed minded, inexperienced, whatever. I don't care. Someone who is depressed their whole life simply doesn't have the courage and willpower to change their life for the better.
I get blue a lot of times too, but when I do I don't just sit around and mope and let it get worse. I take walks, drive around in my car, strum the old guitar, drink sixteen beers, all sorts of stuff. When someone in my family or a friend gets sad, I don't let them sit on the couch all day. We talk about what bothers them (or I get someone to go talk to them), and if they refuse, well...not my problem. I don't let people make me sad if they are.
Criticism is welcome, but no insults to my knowledge of the subject please. I went through a lot of therapy and Ritalin in my past. Didn't solve any of my problems. I solved them on my own.
