Social media often brings out the worst in people. It can be a place of conflicts, taunting, a real center of hate. But not to 19-year-old mental health activist Emily. She uses it to spread compassion and facilitate growth.
Recently, she posted a Twitter thread about the lesser-known symptoms of depression. In it, Emily tackles themes like dissociation and self-destructive behavior, issues we rarely see in our feed but are no less significant than politics or celebrity life. After all, everything starts within.
So let’s take a break from the outside world and focus on the inner one.

Depression is common. WHO estimates that it affects more than 264 million worldwide. “Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life,” the organization writes on its website. “Especially when long-lasting and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school, and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide.” Close to 800,000 people end their lives every year. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in 15-29-year-olds.

The thread instantly sparked an important conversation
