Hi guys! I'm doing a survey on mental illnesses for my psychology class so if you could answer these questions I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much:)
1. Do you think anxiety and depression are mental illnesses?
2. Are they something that should be pushed aside or be more talked about?
3. Someone is weak/weird if he's suffering from anxiety and/or depression?
4. Have you ever experienced anxiety and/or depression or you know someone close to you who has?
5. Would you have any problems with dating someone with either anxiety or depression?

Thank you all once again!

Yes, but it is not permanent. :)

They should be talked about more, Mhm. :)

Absolutely not... :)

I have been depressed, and I do have anxiety attacks if I am too much stressed. :)

I would yes of they did have depression, because that does affect other people, anxiety does not always have to. Um this is from experience, when I was depressed, it would affect everybody that I knew, and I would not be happy in a relationship. But anxiety it can be different, and less severe. Like mine. :)

3. I think that they are weak in a way.. in the sense that they feel weak.. defeated.. like they've lost all hope
4. Yes
5. Absolutely not.

5. Whoops! I thought it said would I date someone with mental issues in which I responded "absolutely not" but all confusion aside, no I would not date someone with depression. I think they should seek help before trying to be in a relationship.

1) sometimes. Genuine ones, yes. Not the ones that just feel down for a bit. People don't seem to see there's a difference in sadness and depression these days.

2) more talked about (it's only because of the people I mentioned above that people think "get over it")

3) weak, maybe maybe not. Weird no.

4) yes

5) possibly. It depends really because that can be a lot of hard work and hurt.
