10 Mistakes People Make with Depression (plus 1 bonus):
1. Think they are alone (the only ones dealing with it).
2. Forget that sometimes medication is needed.
3. Don't confide in someone else (seek help).
4. Don't realize it's a natural mechanism when dealing with loss.
5. Overdo other things for relief (over eat, over medicate, over spend, etc).
6. Make extreme decisions based on it (e.g. suicide).
7. Isolate themselves (which can make it worse).
8. Make unreasonable demands on others (like me, be with me, visit me, call me).
9. Refuse to act on counsel they receive.
10. Think people will reject (mistreat) them if they knew (unfortunately, some do).
BONUS Forget recovery is possible (over time).
