      Being depressed and being anxious are not the same thing as the medical conditions known colloquially as “depression” and “anxiety”.

      Equivocating the two is part of the reason mental health treatment is stigmatized, and is what causes dangerously-dismissive statements like “he can’t have depression, he has a good life”.
