Break the Myths, Embrace the Truth: Understanding Depression At Chennai Mind Clinic, we often meet people struggling silently with depression—not because help isn’t available, but because of the myths surrounding it. Let’s bust a few common myths about depression: Myth 1: “It’s just sadness. You’ll get over it.” Fact: Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's a medical condition that affects your mood, energy, sleep, and daily life. Myth 2: “Only weak people get depressed.” Fact: Depression can affect anyone—students, working professionals, parents, even those who seem “strong” on the outside. Myth 3: “Talking about depression means you’re seeking attention.” Fact: Speaking up is a sign of strength. Seeking help is the first step to feeling better. Myth 4: “Antidepressants change who you are.” Fact: Treatment helps restore balance. Medication is only one part—therapy, lifestyle changes, and support also matter.
