No it's not. The quote is true. People who are not depressed treat it as a disease. But life truly is a trauma for most people, yet we are supposed to be optimistic disregarding the truth. It takes some medicine/chemical or copium that makes it look beautiful and everything is ok. Lots of people just never think too much and do whatever they are supposed to do, so not depressed.
Because I haven't heard of antidepressants making everything look beautiful.
What they do is give you some control over the "play dead" response to give you an ability to get out or at least do something about that life of trauma.
The meds aren't for coping. They are for helping you do the work needed to be in a better place.
There's just no fucking way that the voice that tells people that they may only ever be a burden is coming from outside reality.
There is zero truth in the voice that tells you that your untimely death will not negatively affect anyone else.
There's zero truth in the voice that tells you that it's your duty to the world to make that happen sooner rather than later.
>People who are not depressed treat it as a disease
So do people who are depressed. Illness is what it is.
We're talking about different things.
Yeah may be different types of depression. I'm talking about the quote. Life is not all happy thing, some people know this and want out of this; which they are forced with to live until dying horribly, most time it's horrible sad death honestly. Acknowledging true nature of life and not wanting to continue the misery is not illness.
