Having experienced Major and Manic Depressive Disorders on a first hand basis (albeit not personally), I really dislike it when others make such trivialisations!

I've got a "diagnosis" (

Similar thing (Kitten will agree with this one) people who say they get a bit down in winter so must have SAD.
