14. I stopped reading after you accused me of knowing "very little about the subject"

Your assumption that you're the only authority on depression because you have dealt with it is amusing. Did you not consider that other people had suffered from depression as well?

Here's one more comment before I'm done talking to you, just to spell it out - since you seem to need that done for you: The rates of depression before adolescence among male and female children are about the same up until adolescence. I know that you know this because its been mentioned repeatedly in this very thread - oh and from all your research, too.

And again, they diverge - that is, the number of girls suffering from depression doubles - around adolescence.

Now put those two facts together with what you just said re: biological & environmental stressors. I'll stop spelling it out now. Hopefully you get it now. If not that's just too damn bad.

Also cute how you just stopped mentioning schizophrenia. Good luck with the whole authority figure routine in the future.
