You make a lot of valid points. I think i see where it is you are coming from in that you seem to be saying that a lot of depressed people need to help themselves before anyone else will. However i cant help but think, by reading your posts in this thread that you don't quite get how big depression is, how many different types there are, the many different ways it can affect people, the many different ways to treat it and the many different symptoms those with it can have.
You seem to have said, so far, that if you're depressed you need to stop being so selfish, do something about it and get better. And that you can better by pushing yourself, eating correctly and excercising more frequently. It simply isn't this straight forward.
If you do mean this then i think thats not only incorrect but rather a narrow minded opinion to have about something to vast, varied and difficult to define. If you did not mean this, then the way you have worded things certainly suggests so, just saying.
