I don't understand how people treat depression like a joke. It isn't funny. It isn't something small that someone can just "get over". Depression is a very serious and very real mental condition. It isn't okay. People who suffer from this condition aren't suffering for attention. These people spend every day of their lives trying to overcome it. Is it still funny? They don't get the privileges other people get. They wake up each morning wishing life would end. Is it still okay? When will humanity come into play so we can get some respect?
