First off, as for the Anti-depressants, they work and don’t work. There is such a wide range of them and all, doctors need to prescribe different ones for different people, and even then, some people just get there problem increased by the effects. They are a double edge sword. The majority of people that take them are better off, but the people that are given the wrong ones, or just don’t work well with the drugs, get there problems increased to max. The lucky ones are found, and helped before it’s too late, but the unlucky ones commit suicide before anyone knows.

As for depression, I’m not that enlightened in the subject of the actual disease, or whatever it is, so I don’t know, but as I understand it, it is basically the same as when someone is depressed for a reason, which they will eventually get over, but this person, isn’t depressed for a reason, and they stay that way, never getting over it.

Now I have been depressed and even contemplated suicide, actually tried trying it once, and all I know is if it is anything like I described above, being stuck like I was then, than yes, it is a real problem, not just something to push to the curb.

depression is not a fun thing to deal with. ive had many encounters with it mostly because it seems that people who are all around me die. it is a big problem, including the people who act depressed for attention. more and more teens are starting to not control their feelings and throw the word in depression. I think its a problem that should be dealt with, without drugs, and with more talking one on one.

Depression a major problem? of course it is ,depression is the reason of most suicide cases if not all of them ,some people might act depressed for attention because either they lack a loving surrounding around them or they just want people to look their ways and for Anti-depressants they work or not work and that depends on the nature of the person himself

Exactly. This is exactly what I am saying. Except no one will listen to me because no one cares :/

The way you speak of it, your using it in an adjective form. Meaning a depression of, in which case it is more than likely universally excepted as a word.

As it's chief use in debate, as a deep brooding sadness. I have to say in the large run for the greater good.. no. I know it may seem cold but; the world needs less of our population. I don't endorse suicide or murder, in fact, I would try to stop it if I could and I'm a very drastic person. Still, if it didn't happen the world would be at it's carrying capacity and then we'd be soooo screwed, no longer would one person suffer, a whole world would from hunger and over crowdment. Humans have too much power for nature to balance out..

i think depression shouldn't be over looked i'm not gunna lie i am depressed and i used to keep it to myslef but when i kept it to myself i didn't want to live cause i thought noone would understand but i have one person i talk to who lets me know i am not alone, this summer alone my mom has been making me feel like garbage, my best friend died, my family in jamaica got hit with this hurrican and two of my family members died plus my friends dad died the same way my dad died during my first year of highschool, and the year after my dad died i got into a car accident i thought it was a sign for me to just give up but then i thought of my friends i couldn't leave them alone cause there is atleast someone who will miss me i think i will get better slowly and i have never had to take medicine for it and i am getting better at it i guess it depends on how bad your depresion is and the people around you (if they put you down or make you feel like you can rule the world)

For my opinion I think depression is a big thing it all just depends on the person and what causes them to be depressed...for I do have depression and its not an easy thing for your mood swings will go up and down and make your life hard but taking the right anti-depressants it really does help plus seeing a doctor and a therapist...no offense to anyone but some people do say that they are depressed but might not really have depression they might always just be sad not saying they might not have it its just if you are depressed and/or have suicidal thoughts I would suggest you get help one it can help you through life and second it helps everyone else around you...also there are special doctors who are trained to see what type of depression or any problems that you might have it just depends on you to take the time and make an appointment to go and see them...but anyways depression is a big thing in our society now and I feel its most common with teenagers with the stress they get at school plus the stress they get from their families. Also make sure the doctor that you go to see your depression is well known and good for its not the best if you have a doctor who just gives you medications to try and make you feel better believe me I have had an incident just like that.

I agree wit Ky-lyrra on alotta this, when I was battlin' my own depression for 4 years, I didn' tell anyone and no one knew. As a result, I almost succeded in commitin' suicide twice. No one should take that route, no one! And it was wrong of me ta do so. If no one's listenin' ta u, u make them listen. It's important that u do and when u do it don' "squeak like a mouse", instead "roar like a lion." So that way u'll know u've been heard. I've found, though my experience, it's alot tougher on u when u battle depression alone and that it's good ta have support 'cause it makes things easier ta deal wit.

for me depression is more of a way to
get my feelings out in a poem or maybe
to just be able to find a way to be elft alone
no matter who it is i piss off because i dont feel
like talking or something.

i dont see it as something bad or clinical since depression
really never comes to me because of something bad because
i cope with the bed stuff in a way that is almost like venting ,
i go to a really socluded spot in the woods or to a breach in the off season
and yell at god in anger not swearing or anything just yelling asking why
to a lot of things i wish wouldnt happen but thats just me.
