I know that people like to believe that they know what depression is really about when in reality, it's a lot different than what they assume it to be. They usually try to even the situation by offering their hollow sympathy but honestly, it's useless.

Depression isn't something that you can understand without experiencing it. It's a serious disorder and affects about 350+ million people worldwide. What I hate the most is when depressed people are expected to just "get over it" as if it's something that they have any control over.

Battling depression is one of the hardest thing to do and it's about damn time that we start to see it as a serious problem and a potential threat to one's mental health conditions.
