No slur was intended on people who do have genuine mental health problems...but sometimes Docotrs will label someone with a mental health problem that stick and follows them for the rest of their lives. I have personal experience of something like that and the person concerned was not depressed at all, it was a side effect of prescriptiom medication.
Depression caused by prescription medication is still depression (been there) and just as debilitating.
