Breaking the Silence: Understanding and Overcoming Depression
Depression is a silent, often invisible illness that affects millions globally, yet remains shrouded in stigma, particularly in traditional communities.
In this TEDx talk, we’ll explore the personal and collective impact of depression, sharing real stories and insights on recognizing the signs, seeking help, and building a supportive environment.
This talk emphasizes the importance of breaking the silence around mental health, offering hope, and empowering individuals to take the first steps toward healing.
Together, we can challenge the stigma, support those in need, and foster a culture of understanding and compassion.
