Title: Depression Is NOT A Choice, And NOT Your Fault - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: For anyone who does not understand depression, it can be all too easy to imagine that you should be able to simply ‘pick yourself up’ by making certain changes to your life. If you are depressed, a friend or family member may have suggested that you ‘get out more’, or ‘think positively’. While such comments are intended to be well-meaning, they can be incredibly harmful to you in that they promote a sense of shame about your feelings and state of mind. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
