34. People who are that badly off mentally

often do not recognize that there is something wrong with them.

It's entirely possible to be clinically depressed for years and not even know it. In fact, I've seen people who were depressed totally deny it. Sometimes they don't know they're depressed, and sometimes they're afraid of the stigma attached to people who might have to be on meds or get therapy.

They go along trying to live as best they can never knowing they can feel so much better. Then one day something snaps.

It's all part of the disease of depression.
