Anyone else thing depression is just crying for attention?

And think that most personality disorders are bull, and that myspace is crap?

I can't comment on myspace but I can certainly tell you about depression. When depressed you don't cry for attention, you lock yourself away and just struggle to get through the day. My depression wasn't as bad as many others, in fact, I thought the way I felt was natural. When I lost my husband I finally went to a doctor who correctly found out that I had a chemical imbalance in my brain and prescribed meds. Once I took the meds I was amazed to find that life was really so great. I had no HIGHS and LOWS but I can get blue or feeling down just like everyone and just like normal. Truly, I wouldn't make such statements unless you've walked in someone's shoes who's had the problem. It's real and it's painful.

No. If it is actual depression then no. Depression is something that runs in your family just the same way as alcoholism or A.D.D. might. If someone says their depressed when they really aren't then yes, they probably just want attention.
I am actually offended however that you think the whole think is a gip. I have gone through a depression period just recently . It is a serious matter that deserves medical attention. Most people arent just depressed if they say they are. but if they show since (insomnia, over eating, under eating, bipolar disorder, etc.) its a real thing that factors all of those things in to it.
One day, you may go through a depression period, since most people do. Dont shoot down something if you dont know a lot about what it actually is.
If it was fake there wouldnt be so many medications, therapists, research and studies, etc.

myspace, agreed with. but its the persons choice. many use it just to keep in contact.
Depression is not frying out for attention, however advertising depressing is.
Personality disorders effect the personality, and if it were "bull" as you call it, the person would have something wrong with them to think it up.

Maybe, maybe and, maybe. Myspace isn't that bad. It is only crap if you spend hours on it every day 24/7, and trust me many people do. Now about depression. It depends on the person. Some do it for sympathy, and attention. Others can't help it. Their lives are so bad that they are depressed, and need medication. Now the other personality disorders like duo-personalities and things like that are just plain scary, and more power to the person who has one. My brother had multiple personalities and it was just plain scary. I say had, because he killed himself 2 years ago. I was depressed for awhile but didn't show it. So if the person is making a show over being depressed than they just want attention. That is how you know.

Depression is a serious illness that can be life threatening. that question is plain ignorant and people like you are the ones who make it harder for those who suffer. It is not crap, depression is HELL. Is it crap when someone truely wants to be happy but the only thing they can think about is death against there own will? but i do agree...MYSPACE = CRAP.

well i must say i hated absolutely hated myspace and made fun of everyone that had one but now i have one and i like it cuz it goves me a chance to talk to my friends and get a hold of them theyre all pretty random so their lives change alot and u never kno where theyre gonna be next or their phone number and all so i like it for that and as far as the depression there are people out there that do have serious mental issues its not always their fault and alot of times if kids arent raised properly they seek out that attention that they never got as a child so in a way yes they r looking for attention but its a mental thing even people who may not truely be depressed and are just looking for attention have a problem and it probably traces back to how they were raised or even genes so in a way they are sorta depressed anyway

depression is a genuine illness, but it is so easy to pretend you are depressed to get attention or to get your own way that is is unbelievable how many people will use it

In some cases depression is real.

In some cases it's someone wanting a pity party.

And in other cases it's just a matter of needing to get away from certain people/situations.

Depression is a real problem. It's only for attention if a person is advertising it. I love myspace, though. Lol.

No. Some people do pretend to be depressed for attention but you will be able to tell if they are faking it or not.
