[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 659424, member: 38640"] Ehhh, I was about to post on this - but instead went to the hospital and had surgery so have been out a couple of days. Good to see Ewis hasn't stopped digging the hole. People commit suicide because of depression. It is in fact a very real killer. More than twice the number of people die per year from suicides linked with depression, than HIV/AIDS. It may appear to be a disease of the affluent - but that can largely be placed down to the availability of diagnosis and treatment in affluent places. Of course there are different levels of depression. A mate saying "I've been depressed for a couple of weeks after my girlfriend left me" is not really the issue, in fact it's probably to be expected. It's when they are still feeling down six months or a year later that there is an issue - and "get over it" really is unhelpful. Anyone who has any background in Psychology would know this... It would be a shame if people who generally feel depressed and want to share their experiences are dissuaded by your backwards world view. [/QUOTE]
