>>69826 See, people ITT taking my words out of context and making it look like I said something completely different. Actually depression is very much real, and don't jump to conclusions that I too am not experiencing it, there is just one thing I was talking about:
Try to make an experiment of sorts. Open up a thread about depression and anti-depressants on /b/, since it has more people than any other board. If you hit the time right, the thread will soon have more than 150 replies, and that's my experience based on seeing tens of such threads. In that thread, at least 100 replies will be people telling what anti-depressants they were on.
Exactly the same thing has happened ITT, and is happening right now. Look above this post and see how they have already started throwing around names of numerous AD drugs they used.
Now try to connect a few dots here. Everyone on /b/ is by default an obese basement dweller, no job, very little friends, no girlfriend, no self-confidence, no perspective in life, nothing. Now one day he wakes up and says to himself "hey, I feel like shit". But what does he do about it? He goes to see a fool that will comfort him by telling him he is having an XY form of depression and prescribe him an AD. Soon he will prescribe him another AD, and another, and it will come down to the said person drinking AD drugs for the rest of his life, being absolutely dependant on them although they do him no good whatsoever, and tell everyone "oh shit you guys I'm diagnosed with depression, doctor gave me these anti-depressants". Soon everyone believes him and start taking his non-existent illness seriously. This thread occurs.
What is really the sweetest part, if any of you were really depressed, you wouldn't actually consider using meds for that, let alone tell your doctor about it. Fact. A very pathetic fact.
