I think that even a happy person has many periods of depression, we just don't know about because they stay or keep it hidden.\nAs to YA having many depressed people?  It seems to be a lot easier talking about your deepest secrets, problems, when no one really knows who you are.  Yes, many are depressed and you can read that flat out or between the lines.  But at least we are all here to support one another and give advice that might help each out of the depression.  WE make great friends over this YA thing and thank goodness for that.  I don't think they remain depresseed once we all join in and help out with a solution, do you?  We are worth our weight in gold.........

A lot of people would think so.

Yes there is a link!  But there are studies that link it with being depressed, and those that link say it is antidepressant.

very well said dear! I got one answer which insulted me... it made me mad a little while but what the  ****... the main reason we are here is to enjoy and forget those serious problems that surrounds us!!! Hey, we're here to have a break from everything.\nPeople tend to uplift themselves at the expense of others... Shame on them!

Yes, more often than I should...but that's depression talking.  It does seem like it sometimes, but don't quit.  You're not alone & things will take a swing for the better.

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?

Because most of the people that ask questions here are not asking about why they are so happy or because things are going so good for them.  People looking for help come here to ask, so that is why it looks so gloomy.  Congrats to you and your spouse for 32 years and I hope you have many more to come.

I don't think it is. Have you noticed the state of the world lately ? That alone is enough to keep anyone depressed.

We are all here for a purpose...try looking at the good things in life, like the fact that woke up today. A lot of people go to sleep and never wake up. Sometimes bad things need to happen to us before we start appreciating life. It happened to me.

Ya, but look at how many good positive answers you got to the same question. In this world there are positive people and negative. That is across every group of people.

Yes, I have.  Most of these answers are pretty sad.

I don't live in the Fort Worth area but I am bipolar. I want to apologize for the comments from some of the people who have answered your question. I don't know them but I'm actually quite embarrassed for them. I think you're doing the right thing by trying to find other people who are bipolar because it's always helpful to talk to others who are going through the same pain you are going through.

I do sometimes. If you feel like that all the time here is a web site for you.  http://depressionhurts.com/index.jsp

There are a few people who are only here to be mean.\n\nThere are lots of people here who genuinely want to share their beliefs.\n\nThere are a couple like myself who like to play devil's advocate for both sides.

Honey I agree with you. These kinds of questions and answers come from sad people who feel out of control in their own lives, so they use the "anonymous" medium of YA to vent on the unsuspecting. They need to get a life.

I think everyone on this site is sleep deprived,\nIt's addicting!

The people who actually die of depression are normally suicides...
