Amelia Smith, who launched the Instagram page selfloveclubb , is a 24-year-old mother who lives in Hull, eastern England. Looking at some of the Instagram posts, I get a lively impression, but I'm actually suffering from the symptoms of 'depression' and the fact that it looks like 'it doesn't look like depression'. It is said that it is.
Smith first became aware of depression when he was 14 years old. When I visited a doctor about this and confessed that he had suicidal ideation, he said that he received a heartfelt reply, 'You don't look like you're going to commit suicide.' Mr. Smith was said to be helpless, humiliated, and confused. 'That word was about to ruin my life. That condemning, ridiculous word,' Smith recalls.
Regarding the dangers of this view, Mr. Smith said, 'For those who have mental health problems, the idea that it appears in appearance is dangerous. Like' stigma ',' ignorance ', and' condemnation 'for mental health and suicide. It hurt people who suffer from such a way of thinking and its symptoms. ' Then, showing the following picture, 'I was in this picture when I was thinking about suicide,' showing that the state of feeling does not necessarily appear in the appearance.
Smith's Instagram, which publishes this fact, has 167,000 followers. The post said, 'My boss said,'You didn't look like depression,' and it hurt the most in my life. I cried when I read this post.' I understand. When I was seen by a doctor, I was told, 'It's time for that feeling.' 'I received daily voices from people with similar concerns who were encouraged by Mr. Smith's post. It is said that it is.
In addition, there are voices from doctors. 'Sadly, I often hear about events like this. There's probably a reason for each, but it's definitely a problem anyway. Every time you hear an episode like your doctor told you, I will renew my determination not to become such a doctor. '
'If you're reading this and you're suffering from depression, remember that you're not alone. You should be able to help,' Smith told the BBC. He is a person who should be loved and happy. Ask your friends and doctors for help. The hard times will go away, but the hard people will never run out. '
