Hi,
Sorry, my point was that I think many people especially when they are young, don't even realise they are suffering with depression or anxiety, I think many young people become hypochondriacs or end up just accepting that that is the way it is or end up killing themselves.
The awful thing(as far as I am concerned)is that there currenly seems to be a backlash against using antidepressants for people like me whose depression/anxiety doesn't render them confined to bed, at least there is in the UK. My last psychiatrist told me that he wasn't going to prescribe anything for me and that I should try "mindfulness" instead. I am now filing a complaint against him but I doubt very much I will be taken seriously.
