Online Tantrum

Threw a bit of an online tantrum on *a particular forum* at someone who implied that those who suffer from depression are merely lazy:

Well, I wouldn't have minded being left out of that. Depression is a legitimate illness, just like physical illnesses such as diabetes or asthma. Without anti-depressants some of us probably wouldn't even be here. It's the stigmatisation of mental illness that prevents some people from seeking help. (Often with disastrous results.)

Did I go too far?
Perhaps.
