- Separating Myth From Fact: An Important Step In Combating Depression
Most people know someone who always seems to be down in the dumps. For many, the natural inclination is to grab that person by the shoulder and insist that he or she simply "snap out of it." Depression is just a state of mind, and if people just change their negative outlook, they will soon realize that life's not so bad after all.
That's just one of the many myths about depression, according to Keith Romero, director of communications for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), the nation's largest patient-driven organization focusing specifically on those illnesses. Romero says that people need to realize that depression is a real and treatable medical illness, not a character flaw or sign of weakness.
