So much this. I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was 12, and after taking pretty much every anti-depressant known to man and two rounds of ECT, the prevailing theory is that I'm gonna be stuck with this for the rest of my life. I was in remission for several years before I got pregnant, but my life has been a living hell the last 2 years. So it upsets me so much when these stupid hams toss around the word "depression" just for sympathy and attention. I'd like to see them strapped to a gurney and having a medically induced seizure just so they would know how awful depression really is. (Disclaimer: ECT is done under anesthesia so you're not awake when it happens. And it works really well for a lot of people, myself included. But it just sucks having to do it)
