There are few things it seems people of all political persuasions can agree on: hurricanes are devastating, pineapple on pizza is the Devil, AND Light-Heavyweight kickboxing champion Andrew Tate doesn’t know a damn thing about Depression.
It’s so heartwarming to see Twitter come together…

Not how it works, dude. Depression is an actual medical condition often linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain. It’s not just feeling sad …

That too.
With all due respect, you fucking dickhead, this is an attitude that kills men in huge numbers. https://t.co/yLmhn0Gt4v

Considering suicide is a leading cause of death among Americans (including men), yes. Dangerous and disrespectful attitude.
Ignorant
1. Situational depression isn't same as clinical or bipolar depression.
2. Last 2 are actual chemical imbalances requiring meds. https://t.co/8NdOyftS4O— Artist_Angie: Sensei of Sarcasm (@Artist_Angie) September 8, 2017
As in actual medical conditions that you can’t just exercise away.
Maybe Tate has just been hit in the head one too many times?
Hi, I've never heard of you until tonight, but instead of being angry about your tweet, I'm just going to reply with some helpful links

This was great:
In America, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death. More people die by suicide than from homicide: https://t.co/sl0gl7wDwN

18.8 million Americans are diagnosed with depression and 2/3 of suicide victims suffered from depression https://t.co/ImtZVLTds1

According to AADA, major depressive disorder is "The leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44.3." https://t.co/O76lUxIhEd

Brain scans show brains of people who suffer from depression function different from healthy brains https://t.co/lpkpTmfNPu

Mad props to this guy for sharing so much information with Tate, who clearly needed to read something real on Depression.
Oh, and check this out.
This is ignorant and wrong. Worse, it's harmful to people with Depression who trust & admire Andrew Tate. This is profoundly irresponsible. https://t.co/gekKm0dqxp

We know, Hell must have frozen over because we agree with Wil Wheaton – but he’s right.
Profoundly irresponsible indeed.
Sorry champ, Depression IS very real.
End of story.
