Who gets Depression? What does it look like? How will I know?
What is depression?
I love this video created by the Canadian Family Law Firm of Neinstien & Associates. They published this video to show their support for the annual Let’s Talk Day. This event helps bring the topic of mental health and depression to the forefront in an attempt to break the stigma of suffering from a mental disorder.
Quotes from the participants in the video include:
I am a mother, a father, a student. I am loving, smart, generous. I am alone, in a room full of people. I want to feel anything, I can’t stand to feel anything, I want the pain to go away. Depression is not a mood, depression is not a bad day, depression is a disease. It feels like I am underwater, I need help. Please don’t judge me, don’t give up on me.
Take a few minutes to watch and see what you think. Please spread the word.
