aerofoil,
joesimon didn't say he was depressed......You did !
He was saying he suffered a lack of confidence which he attributed to acne. In fact all the usual things most folk go through.
I am not a doctor but I suspect that "depression" and "clinical depression" are two very different conditions. I never said that mentioning such things to your doctor was proscibed. If anything is bothering you, then you should most certainly bring it to the attention of your doctor. I didn't say depression was a "nothing illness" whatever that means ? However depression can and often is used to describe a short term mood which is not an illness. I didn't tell "people to keep stum about it", I suggested not following your "advice" to suggest it as a way of moving up a list ?
Did you actually read what he wrote ? Where did he mention depression ? Or is that your diagnosis ? I am sorry you think I was "branding" you a teenager, I have a few of my own and the script sounded familiar. Are you one ?
