Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

Depression is a horrible, potentially life-threatening illness - but the lives it threatens are almost always those of the people who suffer from it.

We expect well-informed treatment for cancer or heart disease; it matters no less for depression.

Being a depressive should not imply danger any more than being a man or even a human should. Mental illness isn't a them/us issue; we are all on the scale somewhere. So we must be very careful to resist ignorance and combat the stigma that leads to dangerous silence.

Depression is a physical illness.

Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It's the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.

Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.

Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.

We should be more anxious that our afflictions should benefit us than that they should be speedily removed from us.

Depression is rage spread thin.
