If you suffer from depression you are not alone - it affects more than 3 million in the U.K. and is often stigmatised as a sign of weakness but if anything the opposite is true.
Dr Tim Cantopher, a leading Consultant Psychiatrist, actually refers to it as "the Curse of the Strong" and says that the typical personality traits of people who experience stress-related depression are
MORAL STRENGTH
RELIABILITY
DILIGENCE
STRONG CONSCIENCE
STRONG SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
A TENDENCY TO FOCUS ON THE NEEDS OF OTHERS BEFORE ONE’S OWN
SENSITIVITY
VULNERABILITY TO CRITICISM
SELF-ESTEEM DEPENDS ON THE EVALUATION OF OTHERS
That is a list of qualities most people actually strive for. Let's demolish the stigma together.
