His dad had died a few months before. Then he lost his job. There was more stuff. Then he got ill. He kept getting colds, stomach bugs, was exhausted, couldn't stand for long without having to have to go back to bed.
Eventually he went to see his GP.
After a few minutes conversation, describing the symptoms, the doctor looked at him and said "I think you're depressed."
He looked at the doctor and in all seriousness, said "Well wouldn't you be if you were as ill as I am??"
The doctor laughed uncontrollably for 5 minutes before he managed to get himself together enough to say "No, the illness is depression!"
Even he laughed at that!
True story, a friend of mine.
