Nikki Webber Allen : Don’t suffer from your depression in silence


TED 2017
Nikki Webber Allen : Don’t suffer from your depression in silence (transcript)
Summary
If you are diagnosed with depression, you won't tell anybody about it.
Usually, when people are diagnosed with depression, they don't tell anybody about it.
Depression leads to sickness and disability. It's not clear what the reasons are, but  probably, the reasons are not only mental disorders but also a chemical imbalance in the brain. Thus you can't just shake it off.
The speaker researched about depression and anxiety because she was diagnosed with depression and her nephew had ended his life because of his depression. They felt ashamed and they were silent.
It turns out that a lot of people struggling with depression will improve with therapy, treatment, and medication, however, they keep in silent and they feel lonely.
Thus we have to tell them that they can share their story openly and they can use our help to heal. Don’t suffer from your depression in silence and you can ask for a hand.
Words in this story
imbalance /noun/  disparity, variance, variation, lack of harmony
depression /noun/ melancholia, melancholy, I have depression.
depress /verb/ sad, unhappy, miserable, gloomy, glum, I feel depressed. I am depressed.
