Hi, S
teemians!
Today I want to talk about a topic which is rarely discussed, as our society shamelessly shies away from anything that gives it validity or reality.
The beast of depression or mental illness is a parasite in the lives of the people who are afflicted with it. There is nothing glorious or gratifying about a mind that is in dire need of medical attention, but most of us do not understand that.
Some are predisposed to believe that mental illness should not be taken seriously. They are as in the wrong as it is humanly possible to be wrong!
