He didn’t put it in the right way but I kind of agree with him.

 

While depression is very real, I also feel it is overused in our culture in the wrong way.

 

Kapil Dev is what you call a jock. A great athlete but not a public speaker.

Mental issues are so personal, how do you know for sure that they are using it in the wrong way? One can only judge others. But Who has said they are so much stressed playing in IPL?

I mean in India at least, “I am depressed” “I am stressed”  etc is used very loosely. That’s why people don’t even understand clinical depression. 
 

Kapil belongs to the generation where someone says they are stressed, they will say ground ke aur do chakkar lagao theek hojayega. You can’t blame Kapil, that’s how society views this. You can blame him for not hiring a speech writer or something when public speaking is not his forte but not his views. The problem is deeper.
