People who are depressed often say, ‘Oh, there’s something wrong with me.’ They act as if depression is something over which they have no control. Mostly, that is not true. Mostly people get depressed because they are doing something that is causing the depression. Saying to them, ‘Buck up and stop being depressed’ does not help. But identifying what is causing them to be depressed, and getting them to stop doing that, does help. It is an entirely different mentality.Marsha M. LinehanThe Author of this QuoteAuthorMarsha M.
