BerrySmoothie: Most common fallacy:
"Depression is a sign of weakness"
On the contrary, it takes incredible strength to endure this illness.
Depression can hit anyone at anytime, regardless of gender, age, vocation or socio-economic status.
Chances of recovery from reactive depression are far greater than clinical depression.
