Depression is quiet.
You would be surprised with how many people in your life could be going through depression at this very moment.
People hide it like a paper bag over their heads, out of fear of being judged, made fun of, seen as weak, or just not taken seriously.
Anyone can fall victim to it.
I never met anyone with epilepsy until I was 29. And that was a best friend of my husband’s. (Which may explain why my husband didn’t freak out when I had a seizure on our first date!)
That was it. Beginning and end. Until 2009, when I began participating in other forums (I didn’t even know what a “forum” was!) and started EpilepsyTalk.com.
