To everyone who claims that Craig doesn't have "real problems"

I've read of a few people who think this film ridicules real mental illness.

In my opinion the tone in this film is just right. There is an immense grey area between being a happy teenager and being incurable mentally ill. As Craig mentions, he wasn't cured when he got out. He was just on an upwards path. I think it is really useful for (dark)greyish people to be able to realize that you might need help, even though there are people around who are in a worse state.

In addition to this, I really appreciate how he is just not as good at "living". It is possible (Actually I think it is a bigger factor) to be depressed without a clear trigger or trauma, just because you've drawn the genetically wrong straw.




Please don't respond in a hostile way, I know this is a very sensitive issue. I jut wanted to bring this up, because I think a lot of people who might not coop with life on their own refuse to seek for help, because they're convinced things could be way worse and are afraid others might think they're attitudinising.
