to be honest I wouldn't trust no research on the matter, or I would take it with a grain of salt and assume it to only be a small part of the bigger picture. so basically that 15% might be close to accurate, but that would probably only be a statistic of the people actually diagnosed, right?
What time frame is required to be clinically depressed? Everyone has something real bad happen once, like death of a family member. I guess some people are psychopaths so maybe they wouldn't ever be depressed.
Situational depression != clinical depression, although there is some controversy over this ATM since the DSM V changed some of that. Generally, symptoms are diagnosed over two weeks IIRC.
Well even if we agree on the two weeks, its not possible to accurately judge severity to idk how this can even be determined. It all depends on how you define the terms.
Been there, done that, believe me people with mild depressive episodes r far from clinically depressed
Of course take it seriously, but depression is actually something else than a depressive episode. It’s weird but eh
My guess, u went thru it without professional help and want people to notice and that u are strong. Even if u don’t notice. Nah difficult situation, been there and done that too
isitnormal to think everyone is depressed, or am I normalising depression?

I think you could. Depending on the severity required so consider one depressed.

A CDC study estimated that around 15% of Americans will be clinically depressed at some point in their lives.

That figure surprised me, since I thought it would be higher.

Wut? That sounds extremely low. Maybe that's just the ones that actually get diagnosed?

Clinically depressed. Not "I just broke my favorite pencil and now I'm kinda upset"
