I hate when people call depression, bi-polar, etc "mental" problems. I am no authority on any of this. I do have a layman's understanding...based on some classes and an internship. Depression IS a mental problem...but it is not a problem that people are able to fix without help. It has to be defined as such, and while the terminology "Mental Illness" is a relatively cruel one, they have always used those words to differentiate from "Mental Disability" which was formally called "Mental Retardation". Labels are exactly that and behind all those labels are real human beings with different sets of circumstances...none are really the same. And again, while I have no authority to speak on this subject...you added an important component, these conditions are not always situational but caused biologically as well. I think sometimes situations can make an already existing condition all the more worse. Again, I have to repeat that I don't know a great deal about mental conditions, but I will say they are more common than people think and secondly, awareness needs to be raised.
