Depression Quotes

Depression quotes that I find meaningful especially since I have
suffered from depression most of my life.


What Is Depression?
It's natural to feel down sometimes, but if that low mood lingers
day after day, it could signal depression. Major depression is an episode of sadness or apathy that lasts at least two consecutive weeks and is severe enough to interrupt daily activities. Depression is not a sign of weakness or a negative personality. It is a major public health problem and a treatable medical condition.



~My favorite depression quote~
"A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it." Jonathan Davis


"But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc." Bob Geldof


"Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself." Pythagoras


~I can't argue with this depression quote~
"Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer, because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem." David D. Burns


"Depression is melancholy minus its charms-the animation, the fits."
Susan Sontag


"Depression is rage spread thin." George Santayana


"Depression is something that makes you lose your sight."
Michael Schenker


"Depression is the inability to construct a future." Rollo May


"Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking."
Doug Coupland




Tell Us Your Story! Do You Struggle With Depression?



"Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind."
James Hillman


"Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future." Sivananda


"Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment." Grenville Kleiser


"I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression."
Stuart Appleby


"I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side." Parker Posey


"I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. You know, you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void." Marie Osmond


"I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness."
Adam Ant


"I imagine there's a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff." Brad Paisley


"I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it." Elizabeth Wurtzel


"I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony." Elizabeth Wurtzel


"I want to help people with depression understand that there is hope, so that they can get the help they need to live rich, fulfilling lives."
Tom Bosley


~Depression quote I totally agree with~
"I don't think anybody's continually happy, uh, except idiots, you know. You know, you have to have little moments of depression." Rube Goldberg


"I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about." Richard Marx


"I'm not sure that the benefit-as a writer and as a citizen- that I would get from reading at least the front page of the Times every day or every other day would outweigh the depression." Sharon Olds
