RE: Smashing the Stigma of Depression

in #depression6 years ago

Thank you for your highly educational post.

I have seen in my country a lot of people that want to treat people with depression as if they were just simply sad or if they were a very lazy person, and posts like this one make gives them the tools to treat these kinds of illness.

And you make a great point about, just because we can't see them and nothing is apparently wrong with our body, like a runny nose in the case of flu, it doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with our mind, if we want to be an integral persona we need both mind and body.

Thank you for such a wonderful comment! I'm sorry that you can relate to this one but that's why I wrote it, because anyone with mental health challenges is usually treated unfairly or like we don't belong. I do like the point that you made about needing both your body and mind because that is so true. Oftentimes there is a disconnent in the body/mind connection.
