In the past I was not able to imagine that depression could be very serious mental health problem and sometimes it could really even destroy the families and kill a person who suffers from depression. Both anxiety and depression seems to go in many cases hand in hand. As you said I also heard from many that such condition is often fake and people just crazy, lazy and just do not like to work. Only when I heard from one of my friend who then told that after she saw a specialist doctor and started on anti-depressive she felt much better and was back to normal only then I understood that it is also a disease and needs treatment. I believe in many cases if it is an early stage then such activities like coming together in a group of people where you can join and talk and listen similar people who would be able to share their stories and help that is important. Of course, it is important to know where to seek for professional help. From my side I am trying to be attentive to my friends and family and be there if they need. Thank you for your post was interesting to read your opinion!
