Depression is an often underestimated and misunderstood mental health condition. It’s not always easy for people who don’t suffer from it to really understand what it means to be depressed. Twitter hashtag #TheWorstPartOfDepression helps us understand this condition directly from the words of those people who are struggling against it.
