Why is being depressed bad?

I think being depressed is bad as it affects the way a person sees themselves and the world. It can also cause them to harm themselves. No one should think or feel this way.

If left untreated, depression can have serious — and sometimes long-term — consequences that can affect every aspect of your life.

Being depressed is not something bad at all, it is an emotional stage that many people go through. People may see it as bad as it makes you feel tired, empty and a lack of energy. Hope this helped.

I don't consider depression 'bad' as such, I think it can just be very difficult to deal with at times and often makes a sufferer incredibly lonely / isolated from society. It can often affect physical health too.

it's not bad in terms of being shameful or something to feel guilty about. depression is only bad when it affects your life. not many people understand that depression can take a great toll and be debilitating on a person. it can get severe over time if not treated as soon as possible and most effectively. some people suffer from things like brain injury due to prolonged mental illnesses such as depression, severe body pain, etc. and it can all be at once, the symptoms, as well.

It's not such a bad thing. We all go through it. And it's not because we purposly want it, but during the ups and down in life we get stressed and feel weak that's when we are depressed. And im sure we all go make through this :)

Being depressed isn't bad its a gift of strength its to show how much your capable of and it let's others know what you've been through.

if left untreated, depression can be deadly - so many lives are lost each year to depression, and if any other illness was stigmatised in the way that depression was, there would be a public outcry. depression is as legitimate an illness as any other. at best, it can leave you feeling tired, upset, alone and hopeless, and at worst it can lead you to feeling suicidal. it is so important to try and treat depression and recover from it, because everyone's life is so incredibly valuable.

Being depressed is not bad in a moral sense. Suffering depression is bad in the sense that any kind of suffering is bad - for how it feels. Beyond that, it can easily sap your life of its true full potential. It is bad only in that you were not meant to suffer, and you do deserve relief from your suffering.

Being depresses is bad for your mental health because it can keep you isolated and make you think negative often.
