A dose of positivity a day, keeps the depression away
Depression is a flaw in Chemistry, not character
Depression is an illness, not a weakness
Always remember, you have a better day ahead
All pain will pass

Talk before it’s too late
THINK before you SINK
Healthy mind, healthy body
Don’t hesitate, just communicate
We are there for you
Help, don’t judge
Talk it out
Don’t bury your emotions
Afraid of your own mind? Get help

Share a smile, walk for a mile
Therapy helps
If mind is a warehouse, get rid of the rotten stock
Believe in future, fight depression
Break up with your stress
Create awareness, fight depression
Dear stress let’s break up
Compassion overcomes darkness
Depression is just a feeling, it will go away
It’s OKAY not to be OKAY, so let’s TALK
Depression: Anger without the enthusiasm
Don’t feel happy? Talk!
Even depression is curable
Even the darkest night comes to an end

…

Every day may not be good but there is something good in Every day
Every tunnel ends with a light in front
Fight stigma, increase the awareness
Fight your fears
Fill your life with a dose of positivity
Happiness is just a few miles ahead
If you feel like life is SINKING, try positive THINKING
Increase awareness, fight stigma
Keep smiling!
Keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and fight depression
Let’s break up, dear depression
Make actions and flush tensions
Stand up! Speak against depression
The pain will pass away
The sun will rise again
There’d always sunshine after dark night
Think how blessed you are
You are not alone
You’re blessed, realise it
Your smile has all the cure

“Depression is about anger, it’s about anxiety, it’s about character and heredity. But it is also about something that is in its way quite unique.

“Its so hard to talk when you want to kill yourself. That’s above and beyond everything else, and it’s not a mental complaint-it’s a physical thing, like it’s physically hard to open your mouth and make the words come out.

The most important thing I say is ‘good evening’ and then I go quiet.” — Spike Milligan
