Interestingly, depression doesn't discriminate based on appearances. It can affect individuals who, from the outside, appear to have it all together. The high-functioning, seemingly put-together individuals may be silently battling depression behind closed doors. The ability to outwardly maintain composure doesn't necessarily shield someone from the internal struggles that accompany depression. Understanding that depression can affect anyone, regardless of external appearances, is a crucial step in fostering empathy and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. It reminds us to approach each other with kindness and support, recognizing that we never truly know the battles someone might be facing within. Mentally, depression might make our thoughts feel like a heavy fog, leaving us with a sense of hopelessness and a constant weight on our shoulders. Physically, it can manifest as fatigue, changes in appetite, or even aches and pains that seem to have no clear cause. It's like our body and mind are sending signals that something isn't quite right.
