Yeah, 16% is a lot. If you need help or anything, I highly suggest visiting the web site on the PSA or even PMing me if you want

Also, you should check out my other PSA for the same thing; I like it better.

ALSO, thanks for the fav!

Depression is a biological signal that something is wrong in your life.

"treatment" is not zoinking yourself out on pharmaceuticals like any major drug company would like.

It's choosing a different set of problems to have

Notice the PSA is promoting TWLOHA, not a drug company.

You're taking those words 'medical', 'genuine' and 'serious' for a denotative run for their money.

You seem to saying that all forms of a very loose array of symptoms are all serious. Perhaps even life threatening.

So... despite the fact that the very connotative word of 'depression' could have as many as 8 different medical non-medical and medical uses - 16 percent of the population is affected by it - seriously. How would or could someone collect a statistic like that? Date from a random sample to imply the world?

depression is not a medical condition.
It is a buzz word.
cancer is a medical condition.
strep throat is a medical condition.

Simply being really down on yourself or liking the feeling of a blade being stuck in your arm doesn't necessarily have an exact medical cause. It has to do with chemical interactions in the brain - but so does everything else we personally experience.

And let me guess, help is faith.
Awesome. That's trading one chemical dependence for another. It's strange how similar it is to be addicted to heroine or meth and to religion.

Youre crazy and so is you emo kid sob story organization.

I think people that voluntarily choose not to exist anymore, rationally or not, should be allowed to take their plunge.

Help or 'awareness' doesn't come from an all knowing non-profit organization or spooky incompetent parent figures that don't give a shit. It comes from other human beings.

Only 25% of the profit is given to organizations seeking to help? what gumption! I guess those catchy t-shirts ain't cheap.

Without going into a whole discussion about the legitimacy of labeling depression as a medical ailment, I can respect your opinion and see that you have a few good points, but on the same note notice that my PSA was promoting TWLOHA, not some big drug company that can drug you into submission.

And discounting all the holy wars (because I figure you bring them up if I didn't) which were led by people who had a poor vision of religion (but that's a whole different discussion), religion can defiantly help. I find if unfortunate that you equate religion to drugs.

You said, 'Help or 'awareness' doesn't come from an all knowing non-profit organization or spooky incompetent parent figures that don't give a shit. It comes from other human beings.' TWLOHA is all about people. People helping those who need help.

To say that people who want to kill themselves should be able to, that's just short-sighted. I don't know your reasoning behind it, be it because you think that people that 'sad' should just rid the earth of themselves or for whatever other reason, but I think that at least SOME of those people who want to kill themselves wouldn't if they knew that someone loved them. THAT is what TWLOHA is about: loving people who need love and support.

And that is my religion: love is my religion. Christ came here to love people, and we are called to live like Him, AKA: love people.

If you don't believe in loving people, you, sir, are the one who is crazy.

And nice word choice on 'gumption'. Had to look that one up.
