This feel like the obligatory mid year reminder that depression is in fact part of our reality. Each day I come across memes about depression. On the very bad days, one line tweets after people lose their loved ones. It always reads, "Depression is real"
Back in May we briefly highlighted what depression is in line with dropping the disorder. You should know that language matters in Mental Health. In most cases, its what helps break the stigma, shame and open up a new avenue for healing.
Depression is a condition that causes low moods and a loss of interest in activities someone previously enjoyed.

The poem about depression talks about the turmoil that someone survives with.
"They think you are insane
They think you have a choice
They think you can voice your pain
They think you can get a better solution"
Read the whole poem.
