In reply to does anyone get depressed, posted by terrics on March 21, 2004, at 10:53:58
It could be depressing to read the boards.....except that I from a generation that remembers when mental illness wasn't discussed publicly. I did not know, in my 20s, what everyone takes for granted now.....ADs, therapy, group.......The only thing that I knew of was shock therapy and it was a very hush-hush subject. You had to be REALLY crazy if you had that therapy.......But now celebrities readily admit that they suffer from depression, etc. Maybe my perspective is different from yours because I'm older. I find it really refreshing that people seek help. (I was married to someone years ago who eagerly and often told me that my depression "was in my head".) Now my friends and I compare ADs and discuss our "illness" like we would discuss having a head cold!!! Hang in there and good luck tomorrow! Pat
