During Su***de Prevention Month 🎗️, it’s important to remember that depression is not one single experience. There’s a general cluster of symptoms, but it shows up differently in every person. You can’t always see it on someone’s face, in the supermarket, at work, or at the gym. Depression doesn’t always announce itself, and people who are hurting deeply often look “fine” on the outside.
This month is a reminder to look beyond assumptions, to listen without judgement, and to avoid adding to stigma. Compassion, awareness, and understanding save lives — not stereotypes. 🎗️🎗️🎗️
