CS: Steve's Depression?
I don't watch Coronation Street much, but what happened to this story line? Is it still on going? Or was it just a week long plot device?

I was thinking the same today. It was initially portrayed quite well and Simon Gregson's performances at Christmas were great. Now, however, it seems to have been forgotten about.

Speaking from experience of having depression myself, it never goes away. I went through a very bad patch earlier in the year which resulted in me having various types of treatment and time off work. I'm now not too bad, am managing ok with just anti-depressants. It's not something that's talked about on a regular basis, just like any illness really. I have it, people know it and that's it.

I thought it was an awful storyline made worse with an awful actor
I have and still am going through the same thing. It doesn't go away sadly. Although some will use it to their advantage to knock you down. |

They will revisit when the time is right like Stacey's bipolar
I reckon it will crop up again with this dog going back to old owners |

No, you are wrong. I first had it in 1993 and I am still taking medication for it. It never goes away. Once you have had true depression it remains with you for good. I get good days and bad days.

The actual illness of clinical depression never goes. Once you've got it you're stuck with it. Treatment can help to control it up to a point but it can't get rid of it.

He got better overnight No problems or side effects from meds No long term counselling No physical symptoms to speak of, apart from no sex No being so down he spends days in bed I thought they'd researched this and we're going to do a realistic portrayal, as a nurse, it's been crap |

Terrible portrayal of depression I thought. Steves acting was terrible. They should of chosen an actor who could actually act well to do it.

I'm far from impressed with the development of the Steve depression story. Much like everything in CS nowadays it has been treated superficially. Infact they have treated it in a typically clichéd manner. Shame on them. |

Isn't his dependence on the dog a clear sign of his depression? IMO he's totally using that as a crux and coping mechanism. His obsession with the thing is bordering ridiculous but it's understandable that he sees the dog as bringing him happiness at one of the worst times of his life, and feels dependent on having it around to keep himself balanced.....that's how I saw it anyway!
