just because depression gets better temporarily does not mean
- that it went away
- is gone forever
- the person was faking it
- or they did it on purpose
- it wasn’t as bad as they thought it was
- it’s not really depression
- they were having a bad day/week/month/year
- you know what depression is like for that person
- they needed a change of scenery/friends/wardrobe/jobs
- that you can make jokes about it
- that they can control it
Ehhh. I firmly believe that depression CAN be controlled without the use of any medication or outside source. I mean, I dealt with it almost all of my life but through discipline and a change in philosophy I haven’t had any serious issues in over a year.
