Is Depression "B.S" to you?

[Callypigia]

If you read my earlier post you'd know I don't believe its BS at all. It was more of being curious if there really are scum bags who believe that its a fake mental illness. I used to have anxiety to the point where seeing certain people or things caused me to sweat and my heart race. So I know fully well what anxiety, and even depression can become

You can assume that if you hear of someone faking mental illness they are probably not well. A healthy mind does not attempt to illicit sympathy and pity through feigned illness. They have some deeper pathology that is driving their behavior. I sometimes had forensic patients that faked symptoms to be transferred from prisons to forensic psychiatric hospitals. They are sick too, but not in the way that they pretended. Many of those pervasive personality disorders have a low prognosis.

That is a really stupid question.

It's kinda like saying: People drink water but do you think they're actually ever thirsty?

Still, i don't* blame you. You wouldn't know unless you faced it. And trust me, you don't want to.
