    I didn't know where to put this, but seeing as a lot of people get depressed around this time of year (myself included) I figured this would be a good article to post.

    http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=438&cn=5

    It's quite lengthy. In fact length doesn't even describe the size of this. It's 60 pages. But it has all sorts of stuff on the topic. This page that I followed the link to had this quote

    which I believe is entirely possible. At any rate if the above quote isn't your cup of tea there are 59 other pages ready and willing to try and explain what depression is ..

    mods please move if this is in the wrong place.

    Thanks for the post. What a refrence! Interesting on how it approaches depression from a variety of models. Supports the conclusion that depression is not one disease but a family of diseases caused and held by a variety of means.

    my take is that once you suffer from depression, you always will. sure maybe sometime you will be happy but it will be back.

    Given that depression is a disease, you are correct. Think of diabetes, you may have your sugar under complete control but still the disease haunts you. Depression can be treated and lived with very, very well but it will always be there. What a person with the disease learns, hopefully, is how to manage it so the symptoms are minimal. That can/does happen.

    Reading this article/book is even more depressing. I'm going to beat MDD. It doesn't have to be forever.

    Yeah I don't enjoy reading up on it myself. We talk about it sometimes in the classes I'm taking anyway, so I get my knowledge of it that way.

    I hope you beat it you know where to get a hold of me :)

    I do not know. I do not see my depression coming back. If I get depressed again, it will be an entirely new depression.

    My GAD is painful as **** (General Anxiety). I fight it, I fight hard. I know I can do what I want to do in this life, I'm confident no doubt almost insane as far as willing to improve constantly. It just hurts though, it hurts so ****ing bad and I'm 22. I've lost a little bit of hair a bit early and I don't want medication. But I thought about killing myself once. My grandma prayed no and I didn't.
