Much respect for this YouTube celebrity. Antidepressants are the number two most-prescribed medication class, second only to cholesterol medication (1). 6.7% of American adults suffered a major depressive episode in 2014 – a whopping 15.7 million people (2). A staggering 16.7% of all Americans have suffered at least one major depressive episode in their lifetime (3). Lets heed this brave young woman’s call to fight stigma about depression and antidepressants – if you suffer from depression, know that you are not alone, and that treatment (talk therapy +/- medications) can be incredibly helpful. If you don’t suffer from depression, know that 1-2 people out of every 10 people you know fights this illness – please be understanding, supportive, or at the very least non-judgmental; for tips on what NOT to say to someone who is fighting depression see this young lady’s Facebook post.
