There is no such thing as 'Just depression' depression is a very serious and difficult illness to cope with.

However, people with depression are not neccesarily any more violent than 'normal' people, they are more likely to do harm to themselves rather than others. If you do get a knife in your back it is most probably because you have angered some-one with your views rather than because that person is depressed.

Must finish now as I've just noticed the tip of my blade isn't as sharp as it used to be, hmmm, I wonder where I can test it once I've applied the whetstone, any volunteers?
