I decided to share my depression battle with you.

03:00 My anorexia battle as a teenager
09:28 How my depression symptoms changed, and how important medication and therapy are for me
15:08 It’s not your fault

It is so important for me to talk about mental health. I experienced first-hand how devastating and crippling depression can be, and I realized that there are a lot of people out there that suffer from the same illness, but also that there are a great deal of people that unfortunately don’t understand it. There is a lot of stigma around mental health – like it is something that you can brush away. I feel the need to create awareness around this disease and to alert people that there is help out there, including new medications that came out recently, and other treatments. You don’t have to be “mildly okay” for the rest of your life if you have mental health challenges! You deserve to live a full live like everyone else!

I hope this video helps someone to take steps towards improving their mental health, like seeking a therapist or looking for the right doctor to help you find the most appropriate medication for you!
