Consider sharing this video with your parents to help raise awareness and make childhood depression less of a stigma. Our childhoods are supposed to be the times when we feel safe, carefree, curious, and happiest, but unfortunately, for some children, the dark force we call depression finds a way to steal their time of innocence. Just because a child looks sad doesn't mean he or she is seriously depressed. But if his sadness is persistent or interferes with his social activities, interests, schoolwork, or normal family life, it may mean he is suffering from a depressive illness. Remember that although depression is a serious illness, it is also treatable. DISCLAIMER: This video is for informative purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.

Childhood trauma is a deeply distressing experience that can occur during a person's formative years. This leaves a deep imprint on a person's psyche, often causing long-term psychological effects. Our goal is to shed light on the little-known, but potentially subtle, yet highly impactful triggers of childhood trauma. In this video, we explore the complex topic of childhood trauma and its long-term impact on mental health. We investigate the depth of trauma triggers and how they may contribute to the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Hope it is useful. Thank You.

Depression is exhausting, all you need is support, but what happens is that when it comes to your parents, everything they do makes things worse. Many teens are isolated at home with their parents due to conditions that have occurred over the past two years, and for many teens, this has only added to their depression and made them more vulnerable to depression. Many parents have difficulty understanding the whole concept of depression, so if they come face to face with depression, it may only make things worse. Hope it is useful. Thank You.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a type of personality disorder that affects approximately 1-3% of the population. People with BPD struggle with self-image, and their behavior and views of others can change quickly as they battle waves of sadness, anger, or anxiety. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, BPD may be related to traumatic events, brain chemistry, and family history, but these factors are not always present in people with the disorder. Hidden or quiet BPD occurs when BPD symptoms are present, but they are internalized (Healthline, 2020). Because hidden BPD symptoms are not outwardly visible, it may be difficult for someone without BPD to understand that the actions of a friend, partner, or family member are caused by borderline personality disorder and not a toxic personality or another mental disorder such as anxiety.

Spotting signs that someone may not be as mentally strong as they seem? Here's information on differentiating between tough actions and genuine mental strength. It's easy to mistake courage for resilience, but true mental strength is more than simply displaying a tough attitude. Watch for signs such as avoiding challenges, blaming others for setbacks, or a lack of emotional resilience. If you recognize these signs in yourself, don't worry – there are steps you can take to strengthen your mental fortitude. By applying self-help techniques, encouraging personal growth, and facing challenges head-on, you can stop being mentally weak and cultivate genuine resilience from within. Hope it is useful.

Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (or ADHD for short) is a condition that affects your focus. This can make focusing on daily tasks and routines challenging. For years, people with ADHD have been labeled as lazy, procrastinating, unstable, or irresponsible. These labels only create shame and discourage people with ADHD from seeking help. To help reduce the stigma, we created this video! Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and is not intended for self-diagnosis. If you believe that any of these points apply to you, please see a therapist for a proper diagnosis. Reminder: Don't let these labels deter you from seeking treatment. Remember that these labels, whether they bothered you in the past or follow you in the present, do not represent who you are. You are more than that. So, if you need help, please contact a medical health professional for help. Hope it is useful. Thank You.

Even though you always smile and have a cheerful attitude, do you ever feel tired and stressed, perhaps because of keeping up appearances, or because you are avoiding more difficult emotions? It's important to be honest with yourself and assess whether you are struggling with depression, so you can overcome it sooner and seek appropriate help.

Have you ever wondered how many silent battles go unnoticed? We cover the subconscious struggle of passive suicidal ideation, which is often overshadowed by more overt cries for help. Psychologist Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison aptly describes suicide as a 'whispered temptation', inviting those who feel tired or hopeless to come to the quiet door. If you're here, you might like this sentiment. The journey of life is a rollercoaster of emotions, but sometimes the thought arises of ending it all. Recognizing passive suicidal ideation can be a challenge; he hides behind neglecting self-care, giving away possessions, or losing interest in future plans. Even our artistic expressions and risk-taking behavior can hint at inner turmoil. Please share this video to spread awareness. If you feel depressed or suicidal, remember that you are not alone. Ask for help. Hope it is useful. Thank You. DISCLAIMER: This video is intended for educational purposes. It is not intended to be a self-diagnosis or alternative treatment.
