One of my friends called me last night and she told me something which she ‘only’ shared with me, she was suffering from depression. Her mother had passed away a couple of months ago and my friend, being the closest to her, was disturbed. I believe the fact that she realises her problem and is ready to fight it is her biggest strength. Unfortunately, when she discussed it with her family, they thought that her life is screwed and they didn’t want her to talk about it to anyone. Try to recall and analyse your reaction when I mentioned that she is suffering from depression.

When she told me her problem, the first thing I suggested was visiting a doctor. She wanted to see a doctor too but was afraid how her family or anybody who knows her will react once they come to know about it. I mean really?…
