PSYCHOLOGY OF DEPRESSION - REESTABLISHING COMMAND AND CONTROL - DAVID J. ABBOTT M.D.
Depression is a lonely disease. It's not the sort of thing that you sit around and discuss with your friends. When you are depressed, you probably don't believe that you have any friends.
Even if you did discuss it with family and friends, unless they suffer from depression, they would not understand. They cannot hear the dark negative internal voice that is beating you down. Everyone knows what it means to feel sad from time to time. But if they have not heard depression shout in their own mind, they don't know how it feels to live in the dark world of depression.
Although depression is a lonely disease, it's important to realize that you are not alone. Millions of othe people face the same challenges, and most of them get better with treatment.
