One of the most satisfying things in the last number of years for me and my depression is when my sister and my family finally fully supported me and started to learn about depression and come to understand what it means.
Its so painful to have people you love think its a weakness, or a simple solution like just get out more, or the many things we hear from people who don't understand what we are going through.
These kinds of campaigns are terrific, and brighten my day to see these videos. When people ask me what depression is like its great to have short videos like the one with the lady who calls in sick "missing work", to get an idea of what it is like for us.
