Hi Jenny, why n when will people understand people with depression coz it's becoming very hard now?

Hey Jenny,

 

Thanks for coming to community. I think that society does have a way to go in terms of understanding mental health more. Depression is so common, but I think that a lot of people don't know how to help those who are going through it. We do have a support guide for this which you might want to take a look at: https://www.ditchthelabel.org/depression-how-you-can-help/

 

Are you struggling with depression at the moment? If you are, we can support you with this if you want. Speak soon,

Hey Jenny,

 

I'm Remi, one of the support mentors on here and i'm just checking in to see how you are.

 

I agree with Monsoon, we are getting better as a society about talking about mental health, but sometimes it's hard when it's someone close to you and people don't know exactly how to react, I think a lot of us have experienced that before. It must be very frustrating.

 

I mean this is a slightly more jokey article, but it may help to show it to some of the people that aren't understanding depression. https://www.ditchthelabel.org/what-n...ressed-person/

 

Let us know, if you choose to use it and how it goes.
