Claire commented on the post, Stress, Depressed, but Impressed
Samson,
This Arts Media project sounds interesting. Have you done any more research to see how depression and stress are connected? This could add valuable information to your piece. Also, explain more of how these students deal with the stress and depression. Great job.

Ravi,
Are you saying that our society is dystonian? This a a little unclear. Also I do not think that education is taking a backseat in today’s society. If anything education is more important today than it has ever been. It would be great if you could explain a little more about what makes you think this.Claire.

I think this article doesn’t really grasp the full concept of depression. All that science stuff really have nothing to do with how down right lonely, weak, and down a person can get. Depression is not something you study or examine in people. It’s painful

Claire,
I think its excellent that you are informing people about this issue. Depression is something that can never be talked about enough. I’ve known four people that taken their own life due to depression, and the one thing I regretted was not ever asking them about. Because people are afraid to talk, they don’t get help, and the problem gets worse and worse. We have to be accepting of depression, because it really is a health issue, not something you can control. The numbers clearly show that our society has become more depressed over the last fifty years, and yet nobody seems to want to talk about it. People suffering from depression are scared of being labelled different, or disabled. They don’t know where to go for help, and sometimes the only solution they can see is to take their own life. I’m happy you’re writing about this topic, and I look forward to hearing more.
