Top 10 Quotes About Depression

This is a list filled with depression related quotes, just to clarify, I don't suffer from depression at all. I have some idea of what it's like, due to various internet communities that I participated in, and thus formulated this list.

The Top Ten

3 "Depression is feeling depressed when you wonder if you're just using your depression as an excuse and are fine, but you really suffer from depression"

4 "It's so difficult to describe depression to someone who's never been there, because it's not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling - that really hollowed-out feeling."
