I appreciate you supporting what I had to say.
I opened up on how depression impacted my family and it is never easy to share personal information. In this case it thought it was worth it.
I hope it helps some people on the site. There appears to be some confusion on what depression actually entails.
It can be a debilitating condition and it can anyone. As my psychiatrist said to me some of the most powerful people in my city suffered from it. It doesn’t discriminate based on whether you are rich or poor.
I hope this helps someone out there and maybe lessen the stigma regarding depression. Having high profile people come forward with challenges they face is a step in the right direction.
Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. Not treating it is something to be ashamed of because it doesn’t just effect you but also your loved ones.
