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 on this page. We called it: ‘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 have a mobile app too, so information and help can be wherever you are. 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"
