People with depression can't just snap out of it or "turn that frown upside down." Depression can be a painful and overwhelming state that makes one unable to function, to think clearly or reasonably, or to want to simply face another day. Many people suffer alone and in silence because they are scared or ashamed. They feel weakor pitiful. How can a person be incapable of having joy? Why cant I just have a good time? Why cant I get on with it?
