I wonder why is this still happening
Why do we hide the fact that we are depressed ? If it is an illness that affects every aspect of our lives why is it considered taboo to acknowledge it in public ?

I don’t think it’s taboo to acknowledge it but people probably hide it because it makes some people uncomfortable and not want to be around them
@StevetheSleeve Yes, but why ?

@Underconstruction I think because they don’t want to lose friendships or be avoided
@StevetheSleeve So where does this feeling of guilt comes from ? Why is it attached to this type of illness ?

@Underconstruction As you probably know there are a lot of feelings that come with depression and most of them are not good and even self-destructive
@StevetheSleeve I know but I think they can be exacerbated by the stigma they carry. It´s a very frustrating situation for all those who suffer it.

@Underconstruction Yes, very much so
