How To Overcome Depression and Anxiety

People often make excuses for themselves to get out of tough situations or in order to gain attention, and many have resorted to claiming some sort of mental illness as their excuse. Unfortunately, too many don't realize they are just using it as a crutch and aren't actually suffering from any true psychological condition. Whether it be depression, anxiety, ADHD, or anything else; these so-called illnesses are often nothing more than an easy way out. Mental illnesses should not be taken lightly as they are real medical conditions that can have serious consequences if left untreated, but it's important to try and differentiate between those who suffer from them and those who use mental illness as an excuse.
