  1. Idk where itinerary came from. Auto correct
     
  2. How about you be mature by not getting triggered and giving this moron attention.

    Why don’t we start with that step :)
     
  3. Agreed Miss Aphrodite. Good day to you.
     
  4. Not all diseases are contagious
     
  5. gonna copy and paste what i told someone else.

    Psychiatric disorders are not medical diseases. There are no lab tests, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. Disorder does not equal disease.
     
  6. Depression has many names disease disorder illness etc
     
  7. Actually that is partially incorrect. A disease is defined to Merrian-Webster as “a condition of the living animal or plant body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms.” Unfortunately brain research hasn’t evolved to the point to definitively declare depression a disease, hence its current grouping as a disorder. A diagnosis of depression is made with a combination of physical exams, laboratory blood tests, CT scan, psychiatric exams, and information found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). People suffering from depression have actual physical structural changes in their brains which show on a scan, also the amount of neuroserotonin released in depressed people is considerably lower than non-depressed individuals and can be evaluated with blood tests which check hormone levels. So your “copy and pasted” response is not only medically incorrect for the most part, it shows your complete misunderstanding of the biopsychosocial syndrome/disorder.
