depression has both mental and physical symptoms
so why is it treated different than if someone has a physical chronic disease?
its just as painful. it comes with aches, fatigue, stomach pains, side affects of meds, let alone the self harm. its horrible but we are literally told to hide it and go. go to school. go to work. go. get up and do something. would you tell someone with the flu to get up and get involved because "being involved and moving around helps"? people need to be more aware of what comes with depression. Am i wrong?
