Mental health awareness
Depression & mood disorders
Dedicated work exploring depression, a topic close to my heart.
“Depression is a mental health disorder that's characterised by feelings of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, and many other psychological and physical symptoms. Depression can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.”
1 in 6 people will suffer from a mental illness at some point in their lives, mostly short episodes lasting weeks or months. Various treatment options are available, including lifestyle changes, therapies, and medications. Some individuals suffer from chronic depression and are on medication long-term, which can manifest into physical illness.
Unfortunately, disabled people are five times more likely to develop mental health struggles.
In this project, I aim to explore raw emotion.
