you've never been fucked by a chad and then never called back. it's no wonder women have low self-esteem and anxiety/attachment issues, men and fathers treat them like shit.
>>27138071
11.7% of women will have depression in their lifetime
vs 5.3% of men
It's because women are lead to believe that raising children and running a household is oppression whereas sitting in a cubicle is empowering.
>>27139900
women are more open to telling someone or seeking psychological help than men
many men have too much pride and would see themselves as mentally weak if they were to ask for help
there's probably more cases of men having depression more than women because experience more things that could cause depression than women

>never been fucked by a chad and not called back
what is good judgement/foresight
>fathers treat them like shit

>medicated
>side effects/withdrawal convinces them that problem is real
11.7% of women are retards
Yes, just like majority of r9k.
Back 50 years ago, mental illnesses were seen as nothing more than a simple classification that helped mental health professionals categorize problems and help treat them.
Nowadays, mental illnesses are seen as identities. Just like everything else, they had to become identities that people cling onto.
And the danger here is, when you see something as an identity, it kills your motivation to fix it.
"why should I change who I am. I don't need to change anything. Society needs to change. You need to change. Not me"
I'm all for accepting people, and respecting any struggles that they may be working through. But I will never accept mental illnesses as anything else other than an ailment that needs to be fixed.

No.
I think it just shows that men are stronger than women at the end of the day.
I'm not implying that getting depression is a sign of weakness. But the way you handle it definitely is.
When most men start feeling depressed, they think "shit. I have a problem. I better start making some lifestyle and diet changes and get my shit back on track."
Women think "oh no. I've been struck down by a horrible ailment that I have no control over whatsoever. The only solution is to go to a doctor and get pills."

from a quick google search women are more prone to depression because of all the hormonal changes they go through in life
puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, birth, menopause
the brain is an organ just like any other
>>27140102
This, I'd say more about 99% of women are retards tho
>>27138071
Yep.
>tfw thought I might have depression but don't want to be like one of them so I deny it
I think I'm just cynical and bitter which isn't depression desu.
>>27140240
>tfw docs prescribe drugs to suppress/"fix" the mindset of "mental illness"
The drugs work wonders but they aren't really a solution
>>27139976
spot on. men lower their status by admitting weakness, women's status comes mostly from looks and social relations so she usually raises her status with this just by getting more attention. weakness can also make girls more attractive like the damsel in distress/submissive/easy target look..
men are taught to repress their feelings and self worth from a young age which can only cause more trauma.. theres a study showing parents respond far more to a crying female baby than a male one.
>>27140240
this has nothing to do with the times. people "cling" to mental illness as an excuse to "drop out" of the status game because they cant take anymore losses and just want to be left alone

Dont forget bipolar disorder because sometimes they're happy and sometimes sad

Robots do literally this EXACT THING every day. How many of you autists claim to have depression on a daily basis?
>>27139976
The first part of what you said is right, but the part about men experiencing more "depression causing" things than women is bullshit
