I have depression because my brain doesn't create a chemical called serotonin. Because of this lack of chemical, it causes me to not only have depression but anxiety. They drew blood and everything.
I know it exisits.

I used to be one of those people that thought depression was exaggerated. But I hold no grudges against people who feel that way, because I learned first hand that a person has no idea how badly depression can fuck you up until it does.

A) ...do not call a medical condition "fake" without being qualified to diagnosis it. Any tobacco farmer could just as easily call lung cancer "fake," and thousands of doctors be damned. B) Clinical depression needs to be diagnosed, but "normal" depression can just be a mood. It's a fair bet that if someone's suicidal, they're clinically depressed. If someone has a crappy day and spends the weekend hidden away and not eating, it could just be a mood. Come Monday, they might be normal again. C) Bi-polar, AKA manic-depressive disorder, is a form of clinical depression. It does need to be diagnosed, but it is as real as any form of depression. D) It shocks me, how many people are shocked, that physical health impacts mental. Our brains = run by chemicals. Our bodies = full of chemicals. Our brains = run by our bodies' chemicals. Our chemicals = created by our bodies in reaction to food, exercise, environment, etc.
