Depression: ways of dealing with it

People. Like has been said before, there is a biiiiig difference between feeling sad and being depressed. Way back in my angsty teenage years I had a touch, but having witnessed a friend go through depression (and one that ultimately ended him) I have to let it be known that depression is a psychological disease and not just a quick fix thing that goes away after doing something pleasant. It's something much deeper, and needs appropriately deep and holistic treatment. I suppose if you're one of those lucky people that deal with it, try your best and see where it goes. But I think it's really best left to the professionals like shrinks and the like, and I do hope that if anyone here ever gets/is truly depressed you can find yourself a decent one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
