Why do you feel the need to tell people that they are suffering from depression online?

Did you fill out the HAM-D questionnaire in your head based off his post?

Well, the poster asked how people work a job without offing themselves.

Saying someone who is considering suicide might instead consider talking to their doctor doesn’t seem all that controversial to me?

I've seen doctors, lots of them. I tried multiple antidepressants. The most effective antidepressant seemed to be 10mg of QuittingMyJobs.

Honestly absolutely nothing is going good in my life right now, and I'm STILL HAPPIER than when I had a 9-5 job.

I'm in a better place mentally without a job, without any meds and without money, than with a job, a ton of money and a treatment.

It doesn't, and if they said that, I wouldn't have replied that way.
