It is so true what you say and it is incredible that even today, with so much information on the subject, there is still a taboo in society about mental illness. They are as much a disease like any other and they need clinical attention. Fortunately, I have never gone through one of those depressive periods when you see everything dark all the time. But people very close to me have had depression and I know what it is like. No one wants to feel like that and having to deal with people who look at you with disbelief is so hard.

Anxiety is another condition that when constant and very strong needs to be treated.

Let's hope that one-day, society instead of turning its back on this will be a help.
