MindCare New Brunswick has launched an education campaign, aimed at raising awareness about Depression in New Brunswick.
Depression impacts many lives. It can affect anyone. Your neigbour, your coworker, maybe even someone in your family. It is much more than sadness or feeling blue. It is a debilitating condition that can completely immobilize someone. Simply finding the motivation to get out of bed can be the greatest of challenges. But for those who suffer, the stigma can be as painful as the illness.
Perhaps the greatest difference we can make comes from understanding. Depression is not something you simply get over. It is a disease. It's time to change our attitudes.
We need to start talking about depression, we need to understand what depression is and that it is nothing to be ashamed of.
It's time to take depression seriously.
