Depression is extremely misunderstood within the general public, despite the fact that 1/5 people will suffer from depression in their lives also 1/4 people suffer from mental illness. Depression is not extreme sadness, far from that, it is a consuming, controlling mental illness. Your thoughts and actions are influenced heavily by a feeling of being lost, beyond lost. I will convince and explain to the world that depression is not just crying, it is serious, please support me.
