In this brave and honest talk, Kevin Breel shared his story, the story of how a popular student who seemingly had it all together thought about taking his own life. If someone in your life suffers from depression, you need to watch this video. If you don’t think anyone in your life suffers from depression, you need to watch this video because you may not realize it if they do.

“Real depression isn’t being sad when something in your life goes wrong, real depression is being sad when everything in your life is going right. That’s real depression, and that’s what I suffer


Confessioni di un comico depresso

In questo onesto e coraggioso discorso, Kevin Breel racconta la sua personale esperienza di depresso. Nel farlo sottolinea la tendenza della società a stigmatizzare la depressione e a voler evitare di riconoscere la gravita’ e l’estensione del problema.

“La vera depressione non è esser tristi quando qualcosa nella vostra vita va storto. La vera depressione è essere tristi quando tutto nella vostra vita va per il verso giusto. Questa è la vera depressione, ed è ciò di cui io soffro.”

Il video e’ sottotitolato in lingua italiana.
