> An issue I am having is that after having been out of work on leave, and then returning this week for a short meeting with my boss and the HR guy, it became obvious to me that they don't know what Major Depression is, or what it does to someone. They shrugged it off as if it were more a case of the blues than an illness. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
> Thanks for your input!
> BrianYup but it doesn't bother me any more......just tell them your "little case of the blues" has a 15-20% mortality rate. Then be reassuring....."I am only a danger to myself - no one else". I usually leave it at that and take the dog for a walk - I like the dog better than most people anyhow.
