Hell no, and I'd say a very small minority are just weak-minded or do it for attention. Depression is often genetic and results from problems with neurotransmitters. If not for this reason, there are way way way many factors including the amount of sleep people get, the food they eat, their current social situation, etc. which can easily influence a person's depression levels.

Edited by DarkSpyda04: 10/18/2013 12:07:31 AMI'm always depressed to the point I feel like Crona. I live a introverted lifestyle so I down myself for not having friends and think it would be the best thing in the world to have friends. I want to get in the game industry but I hear it's very competitive and think I'm wasting my time with the career choice. I have some pretty amazing talent no matter what I do but I always tell myself I ain't doing good enough. I'm happy one minute while I'm watching a funny clip on Youtube and I spend the next minute pulling my hair out because I just wasted time. Would I call myself weak? I think I'm pretty strong to deal with the types of thing I put myself through. And I can only get stronger, right?

No. But if you kill yourself, yes. But if its caused by a chemical imbalance go to a doctor, he can give you "Happy pills"!!!
-
I said below that they are not, but I had a thought: Do you know who is weak? People who pick on those with depression.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 10/17/2013 2:27:58 PMI would argue that people who have to deal with clinical depression are significantly stronger than the average person. Clinical depression isn't just feeling sad for normal reasons, it's an overwhelming, often crippling feeling of loneliness, guilt, fear, and sadness because of a chemical imbalance in the person's brain.

Edited by Hiraku: 10/17/2013 2:22:36 PMNo, quite the opposite in fact
-
People who have long term depression are weak. At some point everyone is bound to go through it for a short time under some circumstance.
-
No. They're depressed.
-
no. but if they commit suicide? then yeah.
-
If they don't struggle against it, I sort of feel that they are.
-
What about severe depression? Or your mother is Manic Depressive and you get some of those symptoms also?
-
Uh... depends what you're talking about. Chronic depression? No, it's a hormonal imbalance. You genetically can't feel happy. Depression over something bad? Sure but don't be sad your whole entire life because that's no fun! Depression over being made fun of? lel vagina
-
Well have you ever felt depressed OP?
-
No fak your whole matha!
-
Yes. There is so much to do in life. You can't just sit around in your pitiful teenage edginess.
-
Not if you don't give a crap about it.
-
If you think they are weak, you are simply uneducated on depression. Serotonin balance is not consciously controllable.
-
No, because actual depression is a mental disorder.
-
No. Its how you respond to it that determines if you're weak or not.
-
Do you have something on your chest thunder or is one of your friends depressed ???
