Freedom from Shame: Overcoming the Stigma of Depression

Amanda Harvey says: "The only way that we, as sufferers of depression, can overcome the stigma, heal our shame and be accepted as no more 'mad' than anyone else, is to 'come out of the closet'. While we conceal our condition, it will be perceived as a guilty secret, something to be ashamed of, both by society and even by ourselves. It will only be when we ourselves can confront and understand, accept and embrace, then finally expose and release our fears and feelings about our condition, that perceptions will shift and depression will be seen for what it is- a simple medical disorder, not a sign of insanity, weakness or failure."
