Today, on , we're sharing Margot's story of living with high-functioning depression. About 15.5% of U.S. adults experience major depressive disorder every year, and sometimes people can be struggling while still accomplishing daily tasks and responsibilities.

To support each other's mental health journeys, remember:
– Check in with your friends, even the ones who seem to be doing well.
– Don't assume you know everyone's story.
– Open up about what you're going through.

"Appearances are not the full story. Depression can look like me." 💙

October is nationally recognized as 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, dedicated to raising awareness about depression, encouraging early mental health screenings, and reducing stigma around seeking help. This month serves as a nationwide reminder that early recognition and open discussion of mental health concerns are essential for improving outcomes.

The official 2026 theme for this month's emphasis is “Nourish to Flourish: Connecting Mind, Body, and Community. The theme is designed to connect these areas, recognizing that mental health thrives when mind, body, and community are in balance. It shifts the conversation from just “awareness” to building the daily practices and environments that help people flourish.

Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community. No one stands alone.
