perhaps there should be fewer critics and more supporters in this thread.
Depression is an issue of mental health. Saying that "so-and-so has no right to be depressed" is close-minded at best.
Everybody is different. Everybody has their own areas of strength and vulnerability.
People with depression can't just "get over it". It's more deeply rooted than that.
If you wish to discuss the legitimacy of mental health as a real public health issue, visit NCAP.

what happened?
Father was murdered, dog punched in the back of the head whilst packing shelves in his cafe (Ill let you guess what RACE of people did that) and my mother verbally abused him when he died.
Still suffering from Post Traumatic Depression because the dumb whore always comes up with something to say "Your father raped a little girl" "your father killed your unborn brother and your going to be just like him"
Oh yeah, one REALLY fucked up family.

That's a terrible story 
Depression is so all-encompassing that it takes complete hold of the sufferer's life. I would not wish severe depression upon even my worst enemy.
The most horrible thing is when it's so chronically bad that, despite life being "fine" or even perfect and in complete working order, you just want to crawl into a hole and die.

That really is very young to be in hospital
You poor thing.
May I ask, were you at a children's hospital, or a psych-specific one? I imagine it'd be hard to know where to put a child that young in that situation.
I didn't have my first hospitalisation until I was 15, and even then it was all very scary and upsetting. You must've been terrified!
Campbelltown Hospital Paediatric Ward. I remember it distinctly.That really is very young to be in hospital

I refused to eat and my grandama bought me maccas and soft serve cones.

In fairness, i dont think typing away at a computer to morons such as yourself is really socialising seeing as how (thankfully) we aren't talking face to face.

wow... some of these stories you guys are telling are pretty bad....
I dont know if i suffer from depression or just have moments were i would behave like i was suffering from it. I say suffering, because it is a disease, which we can rid.
But yeh... my relationship with my dad has gone downhill... for like 3 years.. we have just become the complete opposites. He expects me to do things his way, expects me to be great ( and i do try my hardest because being great is what we all want)... but we just fight every day... over the smallest things... and i literally go crazy... like LOONEY
Like year 11 i was just not caring about friends, my social life was depleting and then year 12 came, i thought fresh start... it was fresh for like first month or so.. then it hit me again and we have the same routine over and over... fight fight fight.....
it like really hurts me in my head everytime we argue.. like i cant handle it anymore, my head literally starts to feel sharp pains... oh wells... High UAI.. High Life...

At about 13 I was diagnosed with depression, bulimia and anxiety (amongst other things, those 3 were consistent) and in the short time frame of 6 months I was taken to 13 differnt 'mental health professionals' and spent 3 nights ER because of suicide attempts and stuff like that.
I was going to school and not showing up to class because I would only end up getting kicked out for arguing with a student or teacher. So every day I would get up and go to school and sit in the counselors or coordinators office all day. No friends, no one wanted to be friends with the crazy person.
I can honestly say that for 3 years, I did not deal with it because I was on suicide watch at school and at home, my family took 'shifts' to watch me at night and never given that opportunity to be somewhat responsible for my own safety (given at the start I was not able to keep myself safe, after about 3 months I would have been able to for some time) Nor did I really want to deal with the-
-Issues with my dad
-Issues with my step dad
Both contributing to my fear of older males (combined with randoms doing stuff to me)
-Issues (most have now been overcome) with my mum
Now I see a psychologist and the counselor at school, I have a pass from the counselor to get out of class with out any negative consequences from the teachers. I am not on medication even though my doctor thinks I should be, my mum wont have a bar of it. My weight is monitored by my doctor and I have to have blood tests monthly.
