    I would go as far as to argue that if your life sucks and you aren’t happy about it that probably isn’t mental illness. That’s just having a shit life, and is a healthy response to your shit circumstances.

    Not to say that can’t cause depression, of course. But just being unhappy about your shit life is not in of itself depression.

      EXACTLY. These people think sadness = depression. Unhappiness is depression.

      Depression is depression. It can happen to anyone. Even those with seemingly plenty of goodness in their lives.
