Great Quotes About Depression
“If you know
someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why.
Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation;
depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the
blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going
through. Be there for them when they come through the other side.
It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is
one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
– Stephen Fry,
actor, comedian and writer
“There
is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just
feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.'
Sadness is more or less like a head cold – with patience, it
passes. Depression is like cancer.”
–
Barbara Kingsolver, The
Bean Trees
