I call bullshit, it's definitely possibly to deal with it alone. It depends on the severity and what kind of person you are but some people can beat it on their own. Getting help is a good idea but to say that it is impossible to overcome depression alone is just plain ignorant. Not to mention that medication and therapy sometimes make things worse.
So because you haven't experienced it it's impossible? I find that argument incredibly ignorant. Also, schizophrenia has nothing to do with depression they're two different things.
I agree that getting help is usually a good thing but to say it's impossible to help yourself is not true. I got over depression without ever really talking to someone about it so I know it's possible.
No one said that because I haven't personally experienced it, it's impossible. What I said is I haven't heard of any documented successes.
Every success usually had SOME type of help along the way (books, people around them, something). I know depression is a completely draining disease so it's pretty hard for me to imagine someone suffering from it combating it alone.
I guess your definition of help is broader than what I was thinking. That makes more sense when you include books and whatnot so I s'pose I'd agree with you. I thought you meant more like professional help and talking to someone in person.
And yea depression is a bitch, completely alone without internet or anything would be pretty tough.
Therapists and doctors can often make problems worse. Many of them just want their patients to give them money and will manipulate people to have more problems than they already did. I do not recommend trusting anyone.
How so one combats depression without anyone knowing it?

It is NOT possible. They need to see a therapist, some need medication etc. It is not possible to deal with it alone.
It is not weak to get help. I think it IS weak to avoid it when you really need it.

Whatever. I haven't heard of anyone who has defeated this illness without SOME type of help. Even a support group and friends is help. But ALONE? No.
That's like saying someone can "overcome" schizophrenia alone.

Not all do that and to trust none of them is a bit silly. Why go to a hospital then?
That's also why you get second, third, and fourth opinions if you're that worried.
I have never seen or heard of someone successfully dealing with this mental disease alone.
