Quote

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

I inherited depression from my mother's side of the family.

No matter where you are, depression responds to the same treatment.

I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

In the Depression especially, I think you learn to face problems and not run away from them.

I still get awful depression. It's who I am.

I have people in my family with bipolar disorder, and for years I've watched them struggle with the disorder's extreme moods and often devastating consequences.

I've often felt depressed; everyone feels depressed.

I have family members that are bipolar.

Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.
