  • Holy cow! Yes! It pisses me off to no end when people tell a person with depression to "get over it"

    We'll excuse the fuck out of me for not being able to regulate the amounts of serotonin and dopamine that my brain releases! I've also heard that depression can be a genetic thing but I'm not too sure.

    People are so stupid sometimes, how about look into this sort of thing before you go spewing your ignorance and polluting the air.

    People need to learn something. >:(

    • Yep, at least according to the diathesis stress model your genetic make-up causes a susceptibility to certain mental illness. They suggest your genes, in conjunction with stress, can cause disorders to develop or worsen their symptoms. I.e. one person (A) is more likely than another to develop depression for example, so even though A and B have the same amount of stress in their lives, A develops the illness.
