Why is there so much stigma surrounding mental health? Depression touches EVERYONE. If were honest; at some point, every single person will experience depression to some degree. For some of us, it is a life long battle. A battle that many people are too ashamed to acknowledge or seek help in fighting. Nobody should ever feel like they are alone, or that they have nowhere left to turn. Nobody should ever be made to feel insignificant or belittled or treated poorly because of a mental health condition. I admit, that when someone is is struggling with despair and the darkness inside them, they can be hard to be around. Finding out that one of your friends or loved ones has or is suffering from anxiety, depression, thoughts of self harm or suicide can be a shock, scary and overwhelming, or trying to keep pace with the ups and downs of certain conditions can be draining... But please, dont forsake them. If you dont know how to handle the situation, counselors can offer not only assistance to someone struggling, but also advice for those struggling to comprehend. Compassion, understanding and support is needed in a world full of cruelty and pain. Be a light in the darkness.
