[QUOTE="UlsterRugby2012, post: 659250, member: 59097"] Just because it impacts largely more developed societies - does that make it any less real? Other diseases of affluence include osteoporosis and colorectal cancer, are they any less real because they mostly affect MEDC's (or as you would say, 'the rich')? Poor counties / LEDC's / less developed countries suffer from a lot of diseases and problems that are non existent in our reality. Also, a large proportion of women in less developed countries suffer from depression because of various socio-economic reasons. (and in my opinion the view and treatment of women by religion is a major part of that - I'm sure I won't make many friends posting that..). "He's a nut" - you do know this type of speaking makes people feel worse? Or, again, is this just ignorance? I doubt you mean harm, contrary to what you may think I don't dislike you, but I'm not so sure you realize what you type sometimes. Words have huge impacts on people. "Hey guys, I'm depressed". This really shows you have no idea what you're talking about, and have never experienced it before. This is clearly NOT what depression is. If it was then it wouldn't be such a huge problem and people could fight it or 'man up' as you say. I wish I had more knowledge on neuroscience, fascinating topic, but fundamental imbalances in the brain do not just 'go away' overnight. Quality of life also isn't the only source of depression - which I think you were hinting at when talking about 'regular joe' and his 'regular day of work'. I just think you need to understand the difference between feeling down and clinical depression. Sorry if this is derailing the thread, so much respect for all you guys posting about their problems.
