The term 'mental illnesses' is very unscientific it's self and I think we need to stop using that term.

Again, I am NOT saying people who suffer really bad should not get help.
Helping others lead out of depression has often worked, but again, the label 'mental illnesses' has lead to a bunch of bullshit too, has called simple natural things like "depressions" as a real sickness and have did unnecessary acts with it.

We label many personalities as "disorders", and other simple things as that. Either just because sometimes you can get depressed with it, or just for being different it's self.

And I was once told that having a natural feeling such as jealously over a fictional character was considered a mental "illness".
(Take a look at this conversation I've had.)
NOTE: I am not sure if this is the same thing as putting someone's name on here. I don't usually do that, but I linked to a conversation because a lot of other stamps did it.

Anyway, I think anyone can get depressed. It's a natural response. Anxiety is natural response, it's just part of a basic system in us.
But the society system has been making very unfair labels over even the most simple responses that are not so much.

I do NOT like getting anxiety and I do not like being depressed, but at the same time, I don't want to label that some kind of "illness". It's just part of our brains, of who we are.

That's my rant. I hope a lot of those understand what I'm saying.

I do not mean to offend, but I just find the labeling really unfair and unusual.

Also when I was writing this, I may have noticed that it could of been referring to people with MAJOR depression.
Well honestly, I still do not believe it's an illness because major depression can still have a reasonable reason.. Blame the things that cause major depression, not the person. And yes, I think I was in some major depression to.. While I do not enjoy it, I also do not enjoy that bullshit label being put over me because I was majorly depressed.
If I was frown upon for opening up by everyone in the world, I would be majorly depressed too, but again, that's a natural response that anyone can get. And it's not my fault I got that major depression. Blame society.


Again, when it comes to the ones who has suffered so much, with anxiety, to even self harm and suicide (another self harm?), that's very sad and that's concerning, but I still think we can do better than making up terms and labels out in the open like that.
We should still help those people, and we need to be more tolerate toward people, but I find the label it's self not only unfair, but it's probably just going to make more people depressed and those already depressed, more depressed.
