What is #depressionhurts?
It's a twitter-based initiative, aiming to remove the shame and stigma which surround depression and suicide. Depression is an ILLNESS and affects 1 in 4 of us, maybe you or the people you love. It's the only illness treated with such shame & stigma. So we made a video to get people talking and understanding. Take a look, the video's above on the Right -----> We called the video ‘It Starts With You’, because it does! It's how YOU think and behave that either adds to the hurt of depression or suicide or helps the sufferers. We know that to change attitude & remove stigma to depression and suicide..... It Starts With You. We hope you'll decide to be part of the change: See the menu item on the left "playing your part"
