00:00:02.868 --> 00:00:08.140


00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.410
-Family and friends are much
better medicine than drugs.

00:00:11.410 --> 00:00:14.820
Whatsoever, you know, doctors in
England, for depressed people,

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.640
throw pills at
them like Smarties

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.270
and just push the problem away.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:21.240
But you know, depression is
a stigma in today's society.

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:24.780
Because the biggest killer in
males from 16 to 30 is suicide.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.030
I mean that's ridiculous.

00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.640
How come you haven't
heard about that?

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.095
You hear about so many stupid
things in the newspaper.

00:00:31.095 --> 00:00:33.280
But you don't hear about that.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.180
There's nothing I could
really compare it to,

00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:39.050
because it was such a
unique issue in my life.

00:00:39.050 --> 00:00:41.710
I always felt it was
like a cloud over me.

00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:47.210
And it does go away, but
you have to take every day

00:00:47.210 --> 00:00:49.480
as it comes and
sometimes every hour,

00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:52.550
or if you're feeling extreme,
sometimes every minute.

00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:56.220
And if you keep doing that,
you start to learn new lessons.

00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:57.680
You learn a lot more about life.

00:00:57.680 --> 00:00:59.900
Depressed people learn
so much more about life,

00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:02.960
because they've thought about
things that someone never has,

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.300
which gives them
great advantages.

00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:08.140
I've think I've certainly
learned a lot from it.

00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:10.140
The drinking was one of
the things I used to do.

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:12.140
I used to drink a lot.

00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:14.990
And I used to smoke
lots of weed as well.

00:01:14.990 --> 00:01:16.900
And I used to do
that pretty much

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:18.845
daily, because my parents
were supporting me

00:01:18.845 --> 00:01:20.350
while I was in London.

00:01:20.350 --> 00:01:23.135
And I used to sit in the
flat and have nothing

00:01:23.135 --> 00:01:25.320
to do, play computer games,
get stoned in the day,

00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:26.270
and go out at night.

00:01:26.270 --> 00:01:28.440
I was probably
depressed before-- I

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:31.442
know I was depressed before I
got into drinking and drugs.

00:01:31.442 --> 00:01:33.150
But the thing is with
drinking and drugs,

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:34.500
they just delay the problem.

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:39.170
And if you want to get over
depression or any kind of issue

00:01:39.170 --> 00:01:42.280
in your life, you have to
take every day as it comes.

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.580
I don't think I've received
the right treatment.

00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:47.250
I think what you need,
if you're depressed,

00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:51.610
you need family and friends and
support from people around you.

00:01:51.610 --> 00:01:53.320
That's the thing
that got me through,

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:55.790
having people around
me to help me.

00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:57.810
Yeah, my life now is great.

00:01:57.810 --> 00:01:59.000
I go out.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:01:59.620
I have fun.

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:02.380
I've got loads of friends, and
I've leaned so many lessons

00:02:02.380 --> 00:02:05.425
about talking to people and
things because of my depression

00:02:05.425 --> 00:02:08.370
and because I was
socially paranoid.

00:02:08.370 --> 00:02:09.979
That's helped me.

00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.897
I can use that now and all
of the bad parts and lessons,

00:02:12.897 --> 00:02:13.730
I can learn from it.

00:02:13.730 --> 00:02:16.010
And I thought I would
never get out of it.

00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:19.305
But I eventually did, and
I feel great because of it.

00:02:19.305 --> 00:02:21.730
Yeah, you can get
over depression.

00:02:21.730 --> 00:02:24.220
If you, you know, you have
to put your mind to it,

00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:26.630
and you have to just
change your life.

00:02:26.630 --> 00:02:28.480
And just go out
there and feel it.

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:30.280
