Re:maybe it's normal to feel bad sometimes (Score 1)

Mental illness doesn't equal sad. It _is_ normal to be "sad".... but major depression is something different. You can't eat, can't sleep, no energy, get suicidal, lose interest in activities, etc... There are chemical imbalances that can be corrected with the right medication. There is too much of a stigma against mental illess. If you have high blood pressure, you take anti-hypertensives. If you have major depression, you should take anti-depressants. arn
