disorder

The spectrum of Mental Health disorders is incredibly vast; we showcase the multitude of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior.

What is Depression?
Depression is a disorder that afflicts over 10% of the world's population, but we as a society know little about it. Stereotypes tell us that depressed people are weak, unless they happen to be a tortured artist. It can be difficult to understand depression because it's invisible. It's a disorder defined by thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, rather than obvious symptoms like vomiting, rashes, or fever. Those who have experienced depression are all too familiar with comments from misguided friends such as, snap out of it, or just get up and do something. Even those with depression might have a hard time understanding what they are experiencing, and they often blame themselves for not being able to snap out of it. To understand what depression really is, we need to talk about symptoms.

The Art of Healing
In the many-sided embroidery of human feelings, there exists a domain that rises above the standard, where happiness and distress dance a sensitive three step dance, and the human soul wrestles with the significant profundities of its own reality.

Nothing to say
The air presses heavy on her chest, causing her to breathe slowly and with effort. The same goes for him, as he draws in a deep breath and instinctively clasps his stomach. He had once shared with her the reason behind this motion - it is a way for him to experience a deep connection. He can sense her emotions as if they were his own, feeling the tightness in her chest and the nervous unease in her stomach, which exposes their profound vulnerability.
