Whether or not its a choice or not is disputed already in the medical community. I question it in my own mind... because I don't feel like I chose this... I feel like it came upon me... much like a disease... and some people think that Depression in its most severe forms is a disease. I can't say for sure. I'm not disputing you, however, I'm just mentioning that for me it seems as though it hit me from nowhere... much like it would hit you if you catch pnemonia. I already know I'm very prone to contracting illnesses, why would it be any different with depression. Also, In my personal experience, So many "therapies" and "cures" take advantage of you when you are at your lowest and the most vulnerable... this is a terrible stigmatization against this disorder.
