Did you really call depression "typical run of the mill teen angst"? Or do you just think he didn't actually have depression? You're wrong either way. You sound like one of those who thinks the "reason" to have depression is being a good or likable person who has bad things happen to them. So nobody you like could possibly have depression and you can conveniently brush them off as whiny bitches.

"...nobody you DON'T like." Forgot the "don't."

I never knew he had depression. And it’s been 30 years since I read it. The comments before mine, that I didn’t read until after I posted my comment, are the first time I’ve ever seen it stated anywhere that he had depression. Teen angst was literally the one and only interpretation of it for decades, and remains the common interpretation from everything I can find on Google.

[(Anonymous)]

Teen angst was definitely the interpretation when I was in high school.

DA

The book doesn’t indicate it was clinical depression. The secret doesn’t even overtly reference clinical depression.

AYRT is overreacting and projecting their issues onto your innocuous comment.

[(Anonymous)]

A book written in the 1940s about a teenager doesn't directly say "this teenager has clinical depression"? I'm shocked. People write things they don't have names for. Everyone who has been diagnosed with depression recognizes it for what it would now be known as today. Yeah, it's projecting. It's not bad to project when you know what you see because it's your lived experience.

By the way, usually when teens (or anyone for that matter) do extreme things to deal with the awful way they're feeling and often can't stop feeling that way for a second, but it's just teen angst... no it isn't. It's undiagnosed depression.

[(Anonymous)]

And acting like a lot of teens don't have teen angst is also patently ridiculous. The teen years are when hormones and puberty hit you like a truck and you're dealing with all sorts of emotions you don't know how to process or deal with so yeah, teens can be overdramatic and think that stupid things are the end of the world and that no one else could ever possibly understand how they feel.

Yeah, that? That's depression. It's very common in teens and very commonly brushed off as "teen angst." We have trained ourselves to see depression as normal and unneeding of treatment. Because it's just teen angst and everyone has it, don't worry about it.
