Why does society romanticise Depression?

Society romanticizes depression because depression is one of the most unexpressed, negative of the emotions. Also, each and everyone of us has experienced some level of depression at one or many points in our lives, therefore, everyone can relate. Depression is rarely discussed openly for fear of negative repercussions as well as being labeled. There is much that is not know about depression, it's causes, effectively dealing with it, and even less is known regarding a cure. There are probably as many books written about depression as there are types and degrees of depression.

some people do not understand the term depression if they havent experienced that feeling themselves ,If a person knows nothing about the subject it may be hard from them to understand

Because they read magazines about their favorite celebrities going through eating disorders, depression, anxiety, etc and they think it makes them more real if they can say they've been there too. It doesn't it only makes everything more painful.

For some reason people think boys/girls will come waltzing into our life and "save us" from what we are feeling, experiencing and doing. But in reality it's us who save ourselves, maybe sometimes there are people who enter our life and makes us feel happy again and thats good.

Romanticise? I can honestly say in my own experience it's still heavily stigmatised and judged, and in no way romanticised.

Because It is really hard to understand if you have not experienced it yourself. Before I have it, I once read about it and I felt like it was very scary and wonder how did such things happen, but then I have it and I felt like it's understandable and not strange at all.

Society romanticizes depression because in stories, movies etc. depression plays a part in the main characters' relationships. In these stories/movies one partner usually helps the other through depression. It isn't even about the depression, it's about the love and wanting to "help" and take care of your partner that makes depression play a part in relationships. In reality, people just want someone to take care of them or be able to take care of someone else with their problems while also being romantically affiliated with them.

because some think it is the solution of depression while in most cases it is not .. There is a lot of kinds of depression but approximately most of them depend on the affected person to get him/her self from that darkness .. but i can't deny that the help of beloved people is really so efficient.

Sadness is a deeply intriguing emotion. Many people, who've learned to cope with their depression, have also learned to be deeply profound with their experiences. The tragic poet, the redeeming artist, the resurrected justice worker... all are seen as rejuvenated through depression in their works. But, we fail to realize that depression is a serious condition -- it debilitates and demoralizes oneself -- and instead focus only on the soulful sensitivities that we can/want to identify with. Thus, depression becomes romanticised through a skewed vision of the condition.

I think because you can't physically see depression, people act as if it isn't a "real" issue, and therefore don't see it as "important" to help those with depression, or think that people with depression will "just get over it"
