Depression: Let's End the Stigma!

DEPRESSION. Something that many people considers as merely sadness. Nevertheless, it isn't what many people think. There's misconception regarding the idea of depression.

DEPRESSION. Something other people considers as a disease which unfortunately, they criticized instead sympathized.

There's a huge stigma regarding people suffering from depression leading to some people concealing what they're going through, and worst case scenario? Suicide.

That previous word is the tragic situation the afflicted one might turn to. Recently, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington hung himself to death which was mourned by people in the music industry, and of course, the band's fans. Many more celebrities took that route.

STIGMA. That word is the cause of some people hiding their depression. That word should end. People living in depression needs someone to talk to. Be sympathetic, and don't be judgmental. Listen to them. Don't say "be positive", it is even insulting to hear. It's like telling a person with blurry vision to remove his glasses and walk. The best thing to do is END THE STIGMA, and let the depressed ones HEAL.
