People often misuse words like depression and ADD. Sure you might be having a bad day, but are you really depressed? Likewise, you might sometimes struggle to concentrate, especially if you're doing something boring, but does that really mean you've got Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)? We all have our little quirks and idiosyncrasies, but does that make us all Obsessive Compulsives? In order to differentiate between what people say about mental illness and what mental illness actually feels like for those who suffer from it, Annie Erskine has created these five useful comics for College Humor.

Good stuff here. I can officially relate to some of them. (And few people even know what's going on inside)

It's annoying how people often mistake clean freaks with OCD. They are not always related.

People who suffer from depression sometimes only have a game or a show that helps them have some baseline of sanity, so ironically a show being cancelled for a depressed person might actually be a devestating blow to their state of mind

This is true! I'm currently re-watching Bones. It's kinda like it's the only thing that makes sense in a senseless world.

Why do they never mention borderline personality disorder, in these kind of posts?

This is about times when people use mental illness words for their dumb things, and people don't really do that for bpd. I saw a post about mental illnesses as monsters, and that has bpd.
