A sad place for sad people to be sad.
Have fun!
This community is for people with depression. Memes and general discussion about depression are encouraged and welcome.
Bi-polar people are also allowed to post here but only sometimes.(joke)
This community is aimed at being inclusive for all people with depression and as such should be free of racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, sexism, patriarch and all other forms of hate-speech.
Trolls will be banned!
Thnx

Yeah true. I can't say it was torture, but I will say this: I've been to the psych ward, and I've been to jail, and jail was like a thousand times more chill than the psych ward, and plus it was free!
Regardless, I find it unconscionable that anyone has to pay for basic healthcare. I can tell you that quality of care does not seem to have any bearing on cost to the individual, unless one is so extravagantly rich they can literally create and fund their own program. I doubt what I experienced is better than what Canada provides, for example.
