Thankfully many doctors don't take that view, but just getting treatment can be a major step for people suffering from depression. You have to acknowledge that you're suffering from an illness which can be treated, and if people around you suggest that nothing can be done about it, it's very hard to even take that step. So, if anyone out there is suffering from depression and hasn't seen a doctor about it, I strongly urge you to do so. 3 years ago I was anorexically thin, suicidal, and often unable even to get out of bed. Sometimes, just talking felt impossible.
Depression is an illness as real and serious as any other.
