I know what I did before I knew there are some medications to treat depression.
I spent a hellish life dominated by anxiety and obsessive worries. Spent long awful sleepless nights. Quarrelled with my parents and friends, constantly shirked from my responsibilities.
I believed psychiatry only treats crazy people. And I couldn't diagnose myself as a "crazy" individual, because my insight was intact. But once when I went to my GP, he told me there is an illness called depression and so and so...
Those who killed themselves probably because of major depression
Van Gough, Virginia Woolf, Neitzhe.... this table
can be long
Depression is a biological disorder. Society or age have nothing to do with it.It existed and still exists.
