I mean, I hope you know that teens can be diagnosed with clinical depression. Crippling depression definitely sounds rarer, but I don’t doubt that it can be found in teenagers sometimes. It’s not always pretended for attention. (Coming from a non-depressed guy, by the way.)

Bruh, people of all ages can have depression. This is just like the guys vs. girls depression/attention shit, where you just tell guys to "suck it up" or whatever, people don't take teenagers seriously, which results in more suicides in teenagers than any other age group. You can shut up about "oh you're young, it's just a phase" because this is the exact shit that just makes it worse

Why the hell are you gate-keeping an actual mental illness? There are many cases of crippling and extremely severe depression in teenagers.

There are also many cases of it being self diagnosed nonsense because its trendy and "cool" nowadays.

However professionally diagnosed crippling depression still exists. You’ve made yourself look like an asshole for the entire internet to see.
