That's "a bit down" and how people who are fundamentally relatively mentally healthy deal with stress etc. When you're clinically depressed you can't function like that. How do you go fishing if you can't face getting out of bed? I know people who, at the height of their depression, couldn't bring themselves to get in a car because they were worried they would just drive off the outside of the first decent corner. EDIT: One bloke I know would drive his motorbike home from work each evening and basically debate just launching it under the front of each oncoming car. That is not the kind of depression you can fix with a day's fishing and a nice sit down with your family. Double edit: Perhaps this kinda highlights why NZ can't yet make meaningful progress on mental health. There are still a load of people out there who have little to no concept of what it means to have clinical-grade mental health issues, and dare I say it but they should consider that a blessing. |
