I have a nephew who was struck suddenly out of the blue at 18 in the middle of his A- levels with depression.At 28 he is still suffering.He has never held a job,never took his A-levels,never got to university.I suspect he will never achieve all that the rest of us do.I feel so bad when speaking to my sister because she asks after my two children...I contemplated not actually phoning her to say that my daughter had passed her A-levels,got into uni,got her degree..
Depression is an evil condition.For some it's like having a terminal illness that destroys your life but you don't die.
When I look at the photos of my nephew when he was small I find myself crying..He doesn't deserve to be this way...
