In the past, people with depression were called lunatics.
This BBC document does an excellent job of explaining how a person’s mind can be ravaged by depression. People with this mental illness talk about how it can paralysis a person’s life and what it’s like to live in this “black hole” that drains the mind and the body. There is also the stigma of depression.
The documentary also discussed new treatments, medicine and therapy that is helping many normal lives.
