Just because I\u2019m depressed doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m suddenly not an adult. In layman\u2019s terms, I want to make it clear: Depression does not equal regression to childhood.<\/p>\n

I say this because, almost without exception, people will talk to me like I\u2019m a 4-year-old once they discover I\u2019m suffering from depression. I wish this illness was so insignificant that a couple of well placed \u201catta boys\u201d and maybe a little condescending baby talk could snap me right out of it. But, consider this:<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s so easy to cure that the random musings that soothe an infant worked to \u201cfix it,\u201d why are doctors, scientists, and researchers working so hard all over the world to find treatments? Just hire someone\u2019s granny to wander around tickling depressed people and, viol\u00e1, problem solved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, all the way around. I think it’s because other people are so uncomfortable dealing with something like depression that they revert to walking on eggshells and speaking in the most innocent of terms in order to keep from saying anything that would upset us. As if their speech is the end all be all of whether we recover from depression or not.<\/p>\n

Hint, it’s not. Relax. Just be our friend.<\/p>\n
