13 Celebrities Come Out And Talk Openly About Depression And It’s Time We Gave It A Listen

Depression is incredibly underrated. Even though in may cases it turns out to be fatal. The only reason people do not give it a lot of importance is because ‘it’s all in the head’.

And that’s why the youngster in Mumbai wanted to share with the world his suicide video. Because his depression was not acknowledged when he was alive. And as a tragic way to express it, he filmed his own death.

And we still do not have a robust mechanism in place to deal with such a dire threat to our youth. But the good sign is that the awareness is spreading. People we look up to are coming out and sharing their depression stories to prove a point that it is not as rare as it seems.
