It is a great thing that people talk about their mental illnesses. If even celebrities can do it, trust in other people also. This was sometimes a reason why the younger brother of Prince Williams wife Kate in the Daily Mail recently of his severe Depression and has told: during the day he had dragged himself to work, only “with glazed eyes at a computer screen to stare at,” wrote the 31-year-old businessman in a guest post.

And the really sick have it even harder.

Today, don’t worry people, if you are in a good mood, or if you have the strength for their excessive leisure activities is missing. My life is good enough? I am too often sad? I have enough Sex?
