    I don’t think clinical depression is real. I think it’s something that capitalists invented to preserve the status quo. Instead of dealing with systemic issues they sell us therapy and medication, making even more money.

    I know exactly why I’m crying every day. There is always a reason behind why someone is depressed.

        Read my comment again? It’s a simple concept. There is no chemical imbalance that make a person sad. There’s always a tangible reason.

      Being depressed over the death of your mother or something like that is a reason to be depressed. But being traumatized by what a billion dollar industry with the motto “if it bleeds, it leads” feeds you is a bad idea.
