Answer 1

It might be noticed that Dhavan did not cite or quote any source such as a media site, article, journal, not even a researcher or any kind of professional, when he makes allusion to depressive illness. What is more, Google is not a source, it is a search engine so it would only provide different sources, he needs to make a reference to the actual document he read in order to make his information more reliable.
