DEPRESSION

“Depressive disorder, or depression, is a common mental health condition that can happen to anyone. It is characterized by a low mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time…Depressive episodes last most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks...They [people with depression] may have feelings of low self-worth, thoughts about dying and hopelessness about the future” (World Health Organization: WHO, 2019).

In my reflection of depression, I chose to depict the ways in which I personally experience the world with depression. These pieces focus on feelings of apathy, loneliness, and suicial ideations.
