Depression: The Misunderstood Epidemic

I came across a video which highlights people's stories, experiences and perspectives of depression. The hour long video showcases how people struggling with depression have overcome helplessness, hopelessness and despair, how loved ones have coped with it and created partnerships which have aided in recovery and wellness, and speaks to the fact that knowledge IS power.

I encourage you to take the time to understand Depression, a mental health issue that almost 3 million Canadians live with, and is believed to become the 2nd most common cause of disability worldwide by 2020.
