the problem is with that "common cold" analogy most people wil go through depression but its not the kind we here talk about and people dont relize it. thiers a difference whn theres an obvious cause and a plan to fix it and there ya go. but the illness of depression is so much more complex. And people have to try to relate somehow so they take from thier limited experince and alot of times they put there foot in thier mouths cuz they are ingorant. You just gotta rember they dont know anybetter and forget about em.
I think their depression might be the same type - but, for some reason, it isn't permanent. We all go through a suicidal, angsty phase as teenagers, but a few of us never quite get out of it.
