I have a classmate once who kept insisting that people with clinical depression can 'choose to be happy', and I told him he was a fuckwit, and a couple classmates who actually have experiences with depression/have relatives with depression told him so, and he was like 'You can choose to take meds and make the effort, or you can choose not to' and FLAMING RAGE OF FLAMINESS. As the Chinese idiom goes: 火怒三丈 (angry flames from three orifices~)!
