Tomorrow's subscriber shoutout depression is a serious mental illness that affects around
300 million people
Worldwide the depression makes you feel worthless
makes you feel
Useless not want to live anymore not want to socialize
With anyone not want a shower
Not one to eat not want to leave your bed. You're so filled with negativity and
Everything is dark
Inside your mind
Anxiety is also a serious mental illness that affects millions upon millions of people
around the world
so much more than just feeling sad or
Nervous anxiety is an immense fear and worry that
Interferes with someone's daily life. So why has
anxiety and depression
Become trendy. Well, there's not just one answer to that question. There are many
possible answers as to why people think anxiety and depression is cool and
is
Trendy the first answer to this question is mental illnesses, and now more widely accepted by society
10 years ago. There was a huge
huge stigma against people who were suffering from mental illnesses
There still is a massive stigma today towards people who suffer from mental illnesses
But it is nothing compared to what it was 10 years ago because mental illnesses are now more
Accepted more people have come out and come forward to talk about how they are feeling
What they suffer form how they're suffering and what suffering is like many
Celebrities have come out and said they suffer from either anxiety or depression or both recently
Justin Bieber has come out and said he suffers from severe anxiety
celebrities have millions of fans around the world and they have
hardcore fans who love them these fans think that everything a celebrity does or says all wears is
Trendy cool
Sick or whatever kids and people say nowadays the younger fans, especially
want to be
exactly like them how they look how they
Dress how they talk how they have their hair and the list goes on. This is the case for
anxiety and depression these young fans think anxiety and depression is cold and
Trendy because their favorite TV star or movie star or face singer suffers from them
they then pretend
pretend
that they suffer from anxiety or depression when in reality
the majority of them don't and they don't really
Understand what it's like to suffer from them, but they don't care about that
They think it's cool and it's trendy this creates a massive
massive problem in my eyes
Let's say a 13 year old boy or girl goes to school on Monday
After hearing her favorite singer suffers from depression
She goes around the school and posts on social media. I'm so depressed
I'm depressed people at school will probably notice and know that she isn't
Actually suffering from depression
her friends or kids at the school will say to her or make comments out loud like you don't suffer from
Depression and probably call her a liar a fake or make fun of her but what about this?
What about if there's a boy or girl in that school or in her class?
Who is actually legitimately suffering from depression and that person is suffering from depression in?
Silence because they haven't told anybody about how they are feeling because they are scared to tell somebody do you?
Really think after hearing all those things. Those people have said to that boy or girl who claimed?
They were suffering from depression
When really in fact they weren't that he will tell anybody about how he's truly feeling
Inside no
He won't and because of that he won't get the help he needs for how he's feeling or what he is going through
the second answer to this question is
everyone says
Anxiety or depression as a slang of a cool term
I hear so many people and see so many people on social media say I'm so depressed
My favorite singer has broken up with his girlfriend or I'm so depressed
I've watched the last episode of my TV show and there's no more or I have such bad
Anxiety because my friend hasn't text me back within 10 seconds people use anxiety and depression
Nowadays instead of using the proper and correct
word instead of saying I'm sad or I'm upset people replace that now with I'm
Depressed thinking it means the same thing when it doesn't the same goes for anxiety people
Use anxiety to replace words like nervous the third answer
To the original question is attention
People have noticed and started to see those who are suffering with mental
illnesses like anxiety or depression get more
Attention what they don't realize is these people are getting more attention
Because they generally need help to get through this difficult
Period of time in their life people see this attention and they want it for themselves
They want to be popular. They want everyone talking to them or helping them
They want everybody asking them if they are. Okay, they want everyone looking
At them they think this attention makes them special and it makes them feel
Special too so many people say they're suffering from depression or they suffer from anxiety
Just to get attention
From others the important thing to note and take from this video is not everybody who claims to have
Anxiety or depression or any other mental illness is faking it or making it up
For attention. This is why this new trend of anxiety and depression is
Dangerous, it's adding more stigma to the topic and making more and more people suffer needlessly
In silence and because of that they are not getting the help they need and deserve
for their mental illnesses like anxiety and
Depression if you suffer from anxiety
Depression or any other mental illness there is a link in the description box down below
