What is depression?

It is a mental illness that affects how you think, feel, and behave
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 10, 2021

 By Amelia Alexander
I have previously mentioned that I am a member of AMHA (Ada Mental Health Alliance).

This club aims to create a positive culture within our school that supports the wellbeing of students. We aim to prevent suicide by supporting people that live with mental illness.

The best way to support people with mental illnesses is to be there for them, and learn as much as you can about what they are going through. One in 4 people have a mental illness. It’s imperative to destigmatize mental illnesses and seeking treatment for mental illnesses.
