What is Depression and Anxiety?

While depression and anxiety are very common, they are often misunderstood.  I created this short video last year in grade 8 to try and educate people. I hope that I can get this video shown in schools to other students as I think it would be very helpful. I got the idea from the “Bell Let’s Talk” commercials. It is very easy to misunderstand when someone is depressed or anxious and to think that something different is going on. This unfortunately leads to a lack of understanding which contributes to the stigma and people’s reluctance to get help.
