Depression: A Dual Life
Depressive disorders
Published on
3rd Jan 2017
To someone who hasn’t experienced depression, the word comes with a world of meaning. It can be stigmatized as weakness, dismissed as sadness or mocked as craziness. The truth cannot be further from this. Kevin Breel, a young stand-up comedian who was popular in high school and excelled in every field, speaks out about his six-year struggle with depression. Watch this video to hear his story.
Those who suffer from depression are often isolated, and it's up to us to help them. Society often forces them to live a dual life. Successes and normalcy are celebrated, but when the time comes to discuss their pain, even friends turn away. In his poignant speech, Breel unleashes a lifetime of confusion and doubt over his place in this unequal society. It’s now time for us as a community to recognize and sensitize ourselves to depression. In his own words, “We’re people, and we have problems. We’re not perfect, and that’s okay.

Amaha does not deal with medical or psychological emergencies. We are not designed to offer support in crisis situations - including when an individual is experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, or is showing symptoms of severe clinical disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions. In these cases, in-person medical intervention is the most appropriate form of help.
If you feel you are experiencing any of these difficulties, we would urge you to seek help at the nearest hospital or emergency room where you can connect with a psychiatrist, social worker, counsellor or therapist in person. We recommend you to involve a close family member or a friend who can offer support.
You can also reach out to a suicide hotline in your country of residence: http://www.healthcollective.in/contact/helplines
