"What? Mental Illness IS real!  " haha, yeah loving right.Look, there are kids in Africa starving right now, do you think they're 'depressed'? No, they live with it. Cause that's what life is all about, sucking it up. wah wah wah, I'm sad, wah wah wah, the internet is down, gently caress off and get a job.  I wonder what the founding fathers would say if they knew that Americans were so bored with their amazing lives they have to make up invisible head-problems to make themselves feel special. Man up, get off Tumblr, and, gee, I dunno, try being a member of society? loving losers these days I swear to god

It says something about the state of things when people can't deal with being sad. Depression is a code word for crybaby

The radio lab episode and the weirdo life hack people on reddit seem to think low voltage through specific regions of the brain do more with fewer side effects. Bummer there hasn't been more research.

Weird how shocking your brain cures sad brains for awhile. You'd think it would mess up the hormone regulation in a bad way.
