Why is talking about your mental health so Important?

Depression: let's talk.
That's the theme of the 2017 World Health Day campaign.
so why not talk about it?
Depression affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. It causes mental anguish and impacts on people's ability to carry out even the simplest everyday tasks, with sometimes devastating consequences for relationships with family and friends and the ability to earn a living. At worst, depression can lead to suicide.

Yet, depression can be prevented and treated. A better understanding of what depression is, and how it can be prevented and treated, will help reduce the stigma associated with the condition, and lead to more people seeking help, because many feel like they have to be ashamed of their mental illness and don't seek help.

Mental Illness is nothing to be ashamed of, neither is talking about.
Imagine if you got blamed for having cancer or diabetes. End the stigma & discrimination of mental illness and bring change to the minds.
