这是我在这社会上的角色
我是谁
我与抑郁症斗争
但我们需要去谈论它
我们也没有在 Twitter 上看到它。
所以我们没有意识到它的严重性。
它也可能在两个国家之外,
但它正在发生,
我们有一种趋势,
"这是你的问题。
但如果你从表面上看我的生活,
所以我成为了幸运的一份子,
高中的风光小孩,我其实并不完美
有些人可能会害怕死亡。
我生命中的很大一部分是害怕我自己。
轻声说你太懦弱,
所以你控制它和隐藏它,
每个人跑向了另外一边。
这是一种无知。
因为抑郁

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kevin Breel - Comedian, activistWriter, comic and mental health activist Kevin Breel speaks up about depression.
Why you should listen
As a teenager, Kevin Breel almost took his own life. His story, so powerfully told in his viral TEDxYouth Talk, gives voice to an often silent struggle and offers a message of hope.
As Jack Knox writes in the Times Colonist :
His story, abbreviated, is this: He grew up in Cadboro Bay, a popular kid, fun at parties, English and drama awards, always on the honour roll, captain of the Lambrick Park basketball team when it was ranked No. 1 in the province. Under it all was the other him, the kid who plunged into depression at age 13 when his best friend died in a car crash.
Breel now speaks out about his own depression, with a mission of helping kids his age realize they're not alone.
