RE: Are you depressed? Or do you know someone that is?

in #depression8 years ago

Great article. I think many people are clearly depressed but I feel that an even larger number of people are somewhat depressed which is also not good. I wonder if it's a product of our society. Although we are more connected (via internet) in some senses I wonder if we are further apart than ever. I know so many people that don't really have any physical friends anymore. Any they have are people online who are literally hundreds or thousands of miles away. Close physical friendship even with just one person I think can be a great cure for depression. Thanks.

I agree. I never like to throw around the word cure, personally, but certainly don't want to detract from your experiences.

I've seen people with the largest followings admit to me that they are the worst kind of lonely. And you're right, human interaction helps amazingly.
