What is depression? i mean people always say they are depressed but are they really depressed or just simply unhappy. I mean yeh a psychiatrist can say someone is depressed but isn't that just their job and maybe just want to keep their job. All these people who get labelled freaks for cutting their arms, Are they freaks? or simply depressed. Can anyone describe the real feeling or meaning of depression?

I have seen a member of my family suffer from depression, the really scary thing about it is, you may not even know if someone close to you is suffering from it. My sister suffered quite badly from it a few years back and I never noticed any change in the way she acted and neither did any of the other family members.
Yet when she went to one of those group-meeting things I went with her for morale support, hearing what she was feeling and how she had managed to hide it from everyone that cared about her really terrified me.
I don’t think I have ever been depressed myself, I have at certain times in my life felt uncertain about the future and this uncertainty has made me unhappy in the past but I don’t think I have ever been “depressed”.
I have seen people that “self harm” and they say they do it because “they feel they deserve the pain”, what it takes to get someone into this state of mind I don’t think you will ever understand unless you have been there yourself.

I must always be depressed then, as I never want to socialise, spent 90% of my time alone, and contemplate certain things WAY too much.

I suppose that's why a lot of people call them freaks. It sounds hard to believe too because saying.. "I cut myself and it makes me feel better" doesn't exactly sound normal, does it? But I reckon it really does make you feel better. Strange how though.

Unless you've been depressed it's hard to expalin it
You just lose the motivation that you usually have, don't want to socialise, think too much and lock yourself away and really not normal. And that's only from me who goes through rare bouts of it. Some people have it all the time.
Self abuse is a seperate issue yet coincides with depression I guess, people who cut themselves say it actually makes them feel better and they don't feel pain. They just get whatever ever they want out of them or such.
