Are Depression Smptopms an Illness?
An illness, a condition, a sickness? What are the definitions?
What do we think?
Ignoratis
There are so many individuals who do not understand what it is like to experience and/or live with intense depressive symptoms. One encounter with an ignoratis that stands out to this day.
Harmful Labels
Nothing drives me nuts more than the labels that people associate with depression.
"You have depression", "I have depression", "You have a sickness"
If we are honest, these labels don't help. In fact they probably do the exact opposite in that they make an individual feel more isolated and potentially awkward.
