What a day with depression looks like?
Around over 16 million adults in the United States are estimated to have experienced at least a single episode of depression. These are the only those who seek treatment. I dream of a day when we can talk about mental health specifically depression in the same way as we discuss physical health. It would ease off the burden of societal pressure which a patient experiences while going through the process of therapy. Depression hurts. And while we frequently associate this mental illness with emotional pain like sadness and feelings of hopelessness, research shows that depression can present itself physically too in terms of a pain. While we don’t think of depression as physical pain, some societies do, especially the ones where it is “taboo” to openly talk about mental health.
