Money makes the world go round.

It's a coin with two sides: people can now openly talk about their depression without being smiled at but like only half of them really suffer from depression.

Overall, I agree with these posts. Too many weak people running to drugs to "cure" them and claiming some random mental condition.
It's just like people claiming to be bi-polar all the time.
Anyway, you can request it be removed.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
