I have lost people to suicide and know people who have been affected by depression

very important to keep people focussed on this issue

We have to start positive conversations around depression that help give people HOPE and let them know it's ok to seek treatment. We have to help eliminate the stigma. I'm part of another Cause/Action that is asking people around the world to help give HOPE to those living with depression by taking the Pledge to Plant sunflowers. You can take the pledge here: http://www.causes.com/actions/1748678-help-us-end-the-stigma-of-depression-pledge-to-plant-a-sunflower

I suffer from depression. I am on meds but sometimes they don't help. It seems like no one understands & no one cares about me. All of my family is gone, I have friends but don't get to see them much. I am a loving & caring person who is always there for everyone, but when I need someone, no one is there for me. I have a general feeling of loneliness & that I have no one to turn to.

in depression types , endogenous depression is very dangerous , by this so many people committed for suicide. so spreed awarness abt depression.

I am in recovery from depression and know that this illness will only be defeated when those afflicted stand up and show that lives carry on and that there is hope.
