(this is coming from someone who was "threated" for adhd and then actually developed depression which i may never completely get over)

i hate it when people misuse medical terms mostly things like depressed and ocd, but there are others but i cant think of any quite as bad

but mostly depression where someone can use it like "oh lol im so depressed i didnt get any cake today :/" its like they're making fun of the fact when i was put of adhd meds(misguided as it was but thats a complaint for different time) i had to convince myself to get out of bed everyday for years, i had lost all hope the world was any good, and most importantly (i was in 3-4th grade at the time) i lost trust that that the older generation knew anything; feeling completely alone and isolated; and not something that the phase 'bad mood' could discirbe.

but getting back to the question and not my ranty explainsoin of just how deeply i feel:
is it normal to hate it when people misuse medical terms?

    Hey, chill. Relax, eat some food. Drink some nice water, and paint some happy trees. It's all about how you view your surroundings.

    The line...
    "oh lol im so depressed i didnt get any cake today :/"

    made me LOL. So, if anything good came out of this post, it was that line.

    i have depression and i dont care if people say things like that. my brother has depression and schizophrenia and i dont have a whinge if someone is called psycho or schitzo. i have a few little OCD quirks and i couldnt care less if someone else says something about OCD.
    what annoys me is when someone gets on their high horse and getting all angry over something that is really not important at all.

        I'm not sure you can pass this off as the fault of a spell checker. That's like blaming the car for hitting someone when a drunk is behind the wheel.

        Don't blame the spell-checker, if you even used one at all...
