    Oh and another myth is that depressed people are ALWAYS sad. They can still be happy if they see an adorable puppy or taste their favourite food or hear a hilarious joke. The problem is there are still dark intrusive thoughts in the background of your mind when you're in your happy moments. For instance just the other day I was thinking to myself "Hey. I could really go for some cheetos right now. You know what else I could go for? A shotgun in my mouth". It permeates your consciousness to the point that it seems normal to you. You can seem happy because you're just that used to it.

    Very very true. Two years ago I had a very deep depression with anxiety crisis, I got medication and therapy and I can say i'm healthy. Now looking back I have been chronically depressed most of my childhood and young adult life, I was just adapted to it! I swore I was fine and normal. Now that I experience a happy life I can tell the difference. That is why depression is so dangerous for the one who have it chronically. You don't notice when it is back.

    Catch_Me_If_You_Can Trust me dude, I'd love it if it worked that way, but it doesn't. When you're depressed, you reach a point of complete and utter apathy. You stop caring about everything and everybody. I had someone who loves me who I loved back and I still tried to off myself. I have family that cares and I still tried to off myself. Depression isn't just situational, it's chemical. Like it's a debilitating disease. PS I love cats, but I can't have one because my dad is severely allergic to their spit (and they lick themselves a lot which makes it worse) so we have a dog instead.

    It COULD help, but it also couldn't. Someone with anxiety might feel as though people are lying about it, or that they don't care. That's the struggle I face everyday. I try to avoid social interaction as much as I can, and there is probably only one person I feel actually cares about me, and me getting better. So in some cases, it DOESN'T help. It really depends on the person

    When I started talking do my best friend 10 months ago, my phobia got SO much better and so did my depression, partially because I had someone I could rely on entirely for the first time. But he didn't cure me. That's the thing, friendships can improve mental illnesses, but they do not cure them, which is a common belief as mentioned in the video.

    Catch_Me_If_You_Can Yes, I'm still depressed. And of course it's all in my brain, that's why it's called a MENTAL illness. But that doesn't make it less serious than a physical illness. I can't change it just because it's in my brain. To quote Dumbledore: "Of course it's all in your head, Harry. Now why should that mean that it's not real?"

    Wolf Stone But the issue is that you can't love yourself when you are depressed, I think that's one of the causes for depression. Once you learn to love yourself, I also believe that it can help depression, but I'm not sure if it can end it. But, there is always a way of ending depression, and self-love may be the cure for some people! :)

    shadowphienix 86 I have certain things that prevent me from being able to ask questions in social situations unless I'm completely comfortable with everyone within earshot. Many people I've attempted to explain this to tell me that I'm just "Not trying hard enough." The problem is that I feel like I simply cannot even open my mouth to even utter a small "Yes." if someone asks if I have any questions, even if I'm comletely lost. I have been working on this with the support of friends and family. I feel like their help is getting me anywhere but I appreciate it, so I'm trying my hardest. Sometimes it's difficult to try. Baby steps, I guess.

    I've had anxiety my whole life but I was aware of it when I was 11 or 12. I was suffering from depression at that age. I mean, I was a kid ! It was difficult to me and my mom was just devasted, the more I tried to explain more she would say "then just stop thinking about it", I couldn't live like that. It's been a rough road since then. I'm 17 now and I finished all my therapy sessions, I'm possitive about the future again and seeing things in perspective. It isn't gone but I'm trying to get along with it so I can start living.

    Something I would like to bring up. Many health systems practically force you to wait until you are in a crisis situation before you can even seek treatment for mental health issues and sometimes for physical health issues as well. And when you can get access for mental health services there are often restrictions for actually using those services.

    No one ever cares until you're on the brink of suicide or you're physically harming yourself, and that's a large part of the problem with how we see and treat things like depression. Until you're hurting yourself or trying to end your life, people brush it off and think it's not serious, or not real. We need to stop viewing depression as suicide, because that's not what depression is. Suicide is the result of depression that's gone unspoken of, untreated, and ignored for too long. There's a huge problem with how our society views mental illness, and it's only making things worse. We seem to be getting better about it however, and I'm hoping we continue to.

    Aw... I was hoping you would bring up about mental hospitals. I have met so many and heard from even people I don't know, that they are afraid of seeking help from a mental hospital. Like if they are suicidal, they won't even want to be taken care of at hospital because they imagine a mental hospital like the horror movie-kind of ones. They imagine that being there would make them feel worse and that they will be tightened by belts, wich is EXTREMELY rare. I feel like the stigma around it makes people feel so unsafe that they are even willing to feel suicidal rather than seeking help for it. I think people who has been treated well during their visits to mental hospitals needs to spoke up more. Like me for example. If the ambulance wouldn't have insisted on coming to get me and let the mental hospital take care of me, I would probably be dead by now. Since mental illnesses awareness is rising, the healthcare has become more like experts on the subject and has evolved incredibly!!! You get treated like a real human being and that is super important.

    I completely agree with the last one. My older bro has severe autism, and I can't count how many times people have simply forgotten that he has feelings. Whenever me and my friends are talking around him, they even sometimes call him the "autistic kid".....yes, he has autism. No, he is not to be referred to as the "autistic kid", he has a name. I have had depression and anxiety my entire life, and even my parents had called me the "depressed kid" or the "anxious kid" when I was little. Of course they understand better now, so that doesn't happen too much anymore. Just don't do it, call people by their names, it's not that difficult.

The thing is, my school counselors are severely underqualified for handling students with mental illnesses, and I spent several hours in there trying to convince them I was not the overly suicidal person they were making me out to be. I was just honest and admitted that yes, at times, I thought about dying. When my mother got there, they began lying to her, describing crap they didn't witness. "She was found wandering the halls... she didn't seem like herself..." In actuality, I was just in front of the library, about to go in, when the teacher noticed me and said hi. It was a very unpleasant afternoon, and my frustration at missing valuable class time didn't make things better. They kept telling me to calm down, even though they were so obviously the reason for my duress. After all that, I was forced to go home early, and it made me think that the road to hell truly is paved with good intentions. I bear no ill will against that teacher. She only wanted to help. It's more the incompetent circus of "counselors" in the front offices who don't view me as a high performing student WITH depression, but a depressed student. They've done more harm than help, but appeared genuinely annoyed when I made it clear I didn't trust them, couldn't trust them, and would never trust them.

    Shay R I’m on the autism spectrum, and I actually prefer “autistic” over “person with autism” because autism is a huge part of me. Also, there’s no such thing as “severe autism”, just as there’s no such thing as a severely neurotypical person. It’s a neurotype. You’re either autistic, or you’re not.

    Regarding the idea that love and support are an absolute cure for things like depression, they only make me feel worse. I feel like I don't deserve people's attention, let alone love and support. So when people act like they care, it makes me feel guilty for simply receiving their attention and concern. I feel like I don't deserve it and that I'm being a nuisance (more than I usually do anyway) by concerning them. I honestly feel better when people don't act like they care, although I will undoubtedly find something else to make me feel like everyone thinks I'm an irritating piece of shit. Fun times, guys.

    actually, a lot of autistic people, myself included, prefer identity-first language. i personally prefer it because person-first language, as i see it, attempts to separate the person from the autism, which in the case of autism, isn't something that's truly possible due to the nature of autism. and while allistics (non-autistics) may need reminders that i'm a person, i'd say that's not something you can fix by switching up your word order. autism is a pervasive neurological developmental disorder: it permeates all aspects of how i think and perceive the world. there is not a non-autistic person inside an autistic one, as many organizations such as autism speaks would have you believe. our brains are fundamentally different, and attempting to change that would change who we are. this isn't to say that all autistic people prefer identity-first language, but many do. i also disagree with this video's suggestion that autism is a mental illness: it isn't, it's a difference in how the brain and nervous system work, and while it can be disabling in a world designed for people who are allistic, to me, it's a difference, not a defect. sure, things like comorbid conditions, as well as actual aspects of being autistic such as sensory processing issues can make life more difficult, to me it's part of who i am and how i experience the world.

Outside of school and in break time she is manipulative and angry. I went on a date with her two years ago, when she was a new student (before I knew how terrible she was.) She ended up having me do all of her work for the whole year; as she got a hold of my student ID number and had my Google Classroom account hostage for her work. If I didn't do the work, she threatened to delete all of my work. I was in a mess that year. Now she continually harasses one of my friends, and every time I tell school staff, they do not believe me due to being a teacher's assistant for the principal and having excellent grades. What should I do?

Well, there’s a thing called “Hiding my depression so that no one will think I’m weak!” or even “Hiding my depression so that no one will think something is wrong!” Depression cones in phases and strengths. One day, it might just be manageable. But other days, it could completely blindside you and cripple you to the point where all you want to do is hide from the rest of the world. It’s hard to deal with. Also, I heard that piano version of “Spice and Wolf”, don’t think you’re slick. XD

Do you seriously think I'd cry uncontrollably in public if I could prevent it? It's distressing and embarrassing. Of course I wouldn't!

    If you're older than 14, I believe, you're legally independent from your parents in terms of the privacy of your mental health records. This may differ state to state, but when I was seeking therapy, this is what I was told. I would do some research and see what the laws surrounding the privacy of your mental health records are for your state specifically. If you're financially dependent on someone who will not allow you to seek treatment, there are a multitude of online support groups that you can look into for non-professional support. Stay strong, friend. If you ever feel like you're a danger to yourself, get somewhere safe and around people who will take care of you.

    Luna, I really really hope you can read this...Anxiety doesn't get any better without treatment. Because it is not a choice, you brain actually needs specific chemicals. the treatment can help you to produce it naturally or they can give you medication. Which is the best thing that can happen to you. I recovered form anxiety and depression and I'm sure that I could not have done it by myself. During my first appointment I was scared to death and I just wanted to run from this. But it saved my life and was the bravest thing I have done to date. Please seek help, the pathology is not going to go away, you will just adapt to it. You don't need to suffer.

    my mum has always been supportive when it comes to my mental health but she'd sometimes say that i get weird thoughts in my head because i'm just bored & do nothing. while it's often the other way round - i sometimes can't function normally because i feel down even though i'm trying to. the last time i had so much on my mind but intrusive thoughts still managed to make a way into my head. also, my therapist never really diagnosticized me with a specific disorder. i thought it was weird at first but i'm glad to see that she's actually doing the right thing. diagnoses were made up by people for classifying certain symptoms as something but you can't sum up evetyhing that's going on in a person's mind & soul with just 2 or 3 words. about the love thing, it sure helps having support but it really takes time for a person with mental illness to feel loved & accepted.

    One of the hardest parts of mental illness I've experienced is not believing I actually have mental illness & believing/wanting to buy into the notion that it's not real. I'm a man, and men should be strong and cope. It's sometimes much easier for me to believe I'm being soft and need to toughen up in these particular moments than it is to accept that immasculating weakness in myself.

    I had gone to multiple therapists myself. Some see me as angry, sad and etc....but in the end I was diagnosed with anxiety and bi-polar disorder, which runs in my family. I had decided not to take medication for it, but now, I know that if I feel distressingly upset, I take a 'day off' and give myself some time to recover. Trust me. This works. If you're ever in a situation where you feel you may cry, take deep breaths and think about where you are at the moment, what it smells like, where your feet are and how much pressure you're applying to them. Things like that, try them ^-^

    There are people who use mental illness for attention even when they don't have a mental disorder. I hate it when someone is using mental illness to lie and make people like them more and it really offends the people who actually HAVE a mental disorder! I have ADHD and I still have some problems today like having suicidal thoughts and feeling uncomfortable. It really offends me when people say that they have ADHD because they space out a lot. That's not what ADHD is really about. ADHD is a mental disorder when a person who has the disorder has serious trouble paying attention, but that's just ONE OF the signs! They can procrastinate, have disorganization, depression, anxiety, and etc. So if you claim that you have ADHD but you don't procrastinate and you are organized...then you need to check again because it is very unlikely that you actually have it.

    Brandy Reyes I one hundred percent agree with you! I have some mental disorders myself and the more I try talking about it at times, my friends thought I was an attention seeker. To be honest, the more people who actually say I have it and it's so called self-diagnosis is ridiculous. They can say what they want and I'm not saying all do it or know what their doing. Maybe some can't get help or properly diagnosed as well. But a Mental Disorder isn't anything to take lightly. It's rather harder than people say it is.

    I am autistic. and watching this has helped me see my mental illness in a new light, and has also reaffirmed some things I've learned from my family and therapists and helpers I've had in the past. I'd also like to point out that having a mental illness doesn't mean your not going to get far in life. I've graduated High School with my peers, I've managed to hold a job for 1 year without any special accommodations, and I've been taking college classes for 2 years now and have received good feedback on most writing material I've written for my classes. What I'm saying is that even though the effects of a mental illness can be everlasting (and it still is for me in some ways), with the right help and guidance a struggles mental illness can be concored.

Then they'll say that they done nothing but support me. This made me regret going to them and asking them for help, I decided to act fine and stop going to the crappy psychiatrist they picked out for me that sees me as nothing but a mental illness and tried to deal with it myself. It was so scary and no one was there with me, and it's still scary till now... I'm not saying this because I want attention but I'm just putting it out there that a lot of people are suffering from something and who could understand us better than people who are going through the same thing

Luckily, my parents have been encouraging me to go see therapists and talk to my friends, plus they understand that I just can't simply stop thinking about it since they go through a similar thought process. Although it gets really rough sometimes, especially when someone we know passes away, it usually helps us get closer together and seek help.

    You also have to take in the environment. TBH, I felt like I was being treated like a prisoner. Or that I had done something wrong when I was taken to a mental ward. I was only 13. Heavily bullied. Told some school counselors something I shouldn't have and they threw me in a building. They locked me away and treated me like my illness was a problem. And it didn't work. You just felt locked up and isolated inside. All the explosive energy from my illness came out in waves of frustration. TBH. I think all that aggression comes from the environment not the person. Because I am nowhere near that aggressive or explosive in my safety zone.

    I may be suffering from anxiety, but I am not sure if I really am or not. I often get it during the day and when I'm around people, but it can happen at random times as well. One time I was playing a game of cards with my grandma. I was happy, but after awhile playing I started to feel very anxious. I can also feel anxiety when I'm trying to sleep and eating my favorite foods. People whom I've told that I feel anxiety often suspect that I'm faking it for attention. I am not. I do feel anxiety often, but I would rather have a psychiatrist identify me with having the mental illness of anxiety rather than self-diagnosis myself with it. I'm going to see a therapist soon and I just hope to find the help I need there.

    I do think there's some definitely misdiagnosis and plain assholery going around. Like there's no way in hell that 1 in 35 kids is autistic. Or that 1 in 100 kids has ADHD. I'd say some people have bad parents, some people are jerks, and some doctors are trying to push pills. Now that being said no one is saying that mental illness isn't real. But far too often I've seen some shitty kid in the grocery store grabbing stuff from shelves, hitting kicking and biting. Screaming at the top of their lungs. And the parent just sitting there on the phone or something. And then if someone says something about it. "My kid -insert bullshit- and they can't help it."

    +BabyBeetroot same they put me in a school where i am followed by teaching assistants it is really uncomfortable and embarrassing i just want to fit in. i've never had an outburst like other autistic kids in the school plus i coped with any lessons in primary school and whenever i have lessons on my own. i act like any other kid at my school. still they misdiagnosed me since i had other illnesses like misophonia-which has had very little research on itself so they just put medication down my throat.

    I was misdiagnosed with depression for years before we actually found out I had bipolar 2. It is so dangerous to just slap a label on someone just to push them out your door. I also hate that parents use the autism or adhd excuses for their children's bad behavior. Most of the kids I have met with autism or adhd are actually very sweet and well behaved children.

    All my "friends" say I am an attention seeker. I'm now afraid to talk to anyone without thinking I'm just bothering them or just getting too much attention.

    I have anger issues, anxiety and thought to have depression. This video is very accurate, and I feel for those who have to have these illnesses.
