This comic does an incredible job of portraying the truth behind depression. Although it is represented in cartoon form, the power of the message is not diluted at any time.
Many people hide their depression behind a smile. We put on a mask and go about our day to day as if everything was fine with us.
Is what he wanted to illustrate American cartoonist Colleen Butters with these vignettes that someone has translated and shaped the video that you are going to see.
We all have our emotional limits but we have to make an effort to get out of the dark. That first effort consists of seek professional help.
In the case of this video, the character with depression finds the help and understanding of a friend but if you see that you are alone, Go to your GP.
