Mental health IS as important as physical health, & whether there are visible signs or not, the suffering is real. It can affect EVERYONE.

So please, let's help stop the misconceptions & support those who need our help. Healing the whole starts with healing minds.

No matter what the misinformed say, you can't simply CHOOSE to make mental illness go away. It is NOT cowardly to suffer or seek help.

Lastly, my dad openly fought depression his whole life, both in general and his own. No matter what anyone says, it is a FIGHT. Fight on.
