@AnastasiaPavly6 I think memes like this have dual audiences. The first group of people are those who can relate to the meme at a "spiritual" level. On the other hand, it might be satirizing the fact that our students talk as if our school is the most difficult school in the world.

@DasSrujani Humans naturally tend to accept those who are similar and push away those who are not. It requires real courage and effort to create an all inclusive community not just in physical appearance such as gender and race but also psychologically.

@DasSrujani People never truly understand the pain and struggle until they experience it themselves. That is why it is so important to spread the awareness. It's an effective way to teach people to be more accepting towards mental illness patients.

@DasSrujani The ironic thing is that the people who are not suffering from the depression are more open to use the word 'depression'. On the other hand, the patients are careful on their words to conceal their feelings.

@ramblinkevin @AcmeDarryl The amount of detail contained in the simple black and white image is absolutely stunning. Eyes are extremely sophisticated device we have. Yet, the eye in the picture seems to be staring into the distance, unable to make use of the vast information in this world.

@MaddieMac1102 I think this is the case because we don't have a treatment that can fix the illness right away. So, each mental illness have to be cured/controlled by their own will to a certain degree.

@MaddieMac1102 Sometimes, ab-normalized lifestyle is required if the patients have the possibility of inflicting physical or psychological harm to others. This includes both regular and mental illnesses.

@MaddieMac1102 At the time, it wasn't considered barbaric. It was their cutting edge medical practices. In fact, the person who developed lobotomy won the Nobel Prize.

@RobertPierrard Greek housing sis an interesting topic. Some students drink as if they want to develop substance dependence. The real problem is pressuring others to do the same.

@RobertPierrard Why do people wish to self-medicate with substances that have potentially more serious permanent, life-long side effects?

15. We must continue to raise awareness of depression among general population. The science might find a cure to the illness, but will not fix the cultural stigma. Only a constant push for change from the public can all alleviate the isolating effects.

1. Depression is defined as a common but serious psychiatric disorder that affects mood, behavior, and overall health. Some of the symptoms include persistent sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and fatigue.

14. Review article for psychological studies show that the results alone will not erase the negative stigma and blame faced by patients today. People’s opinions and views do not change easily even with proper data due to confirmation bias.
