It's not out of malice true, but out of despair.
Despair is a great evil and sin too, when there is no reason not to hold on to hope.
No, depression isn't about despair, it is a electro/chemical imbalance in the brain which leads to feeling of despair. AND NO it is not evil, it is quite NORMAL. I didn't say desired, but normal. Your calling it evil is why humans with mental illness get stigmatized. An imperfect human body should NEVER be stigmatized. Your talk of "evil" is why those who suffer from it DONT get help.
I do not like you calling my condition "evil". My brain is not controlled either by a magic super hero or a guy with a pitchfork. My condition is a result of my genes, my upbringing and my current electrochemical state of my brain.
"Hope" isn't fostered by calling a condition evil. Hope is when you can trust others not to judge you for your condition.
