Forget cancer & AIDS, depression is the true plague of the 21st century.
You will get no arguement from me.
I disagree.....

Cancer is bad, yes, but we DO have ways to cure it, albeit you don't hear a lot about them. Radiation treatment, chemotherapy, yes there are people who do it all and still die but there are also enough people who take those therapies and live. It's a very nasty disease, but not a plague per se.

AIDS, well, the scourge of the third world, people die by it every day, this is a true plague, but a plague of the third world.

Depression is the plague of the first world.

I've been depressed, and contemplated killing myself, but I didn't have such a deep depression as I've read about in this thread. I wholeheartedly agree that depression is a rather terrible affliction, but when people say it's a worse plague than AIDS, well, think about this: How many people die as a result of depression (suicide, carelessness, etc.) every year? And how many people die of AIDS every year?

QED.
