- I decided to share my depression battle with you.
03:00 My anorexia battle as a teenager
09:28 How my depression symptoms changed, and how important medication and therapy are for me
15:08 It’s not your fault
It is so important for me to talk about mental health. I experienced first-hand how devastating and crippling depression can be, and I realized that there are a lot of people out there that suffer from the same illness, but also that there are a great deal of people that unfortunately don’t understand it. There is a lot of stigma around mental health - like it is something that you can brush away. I feel the need to create awareness around this disease and to alert people that there is help out there, including new medications that came out recently, and other treatments. You don’t have to be “mildly okay” for the rest of your life if you have mental health challenges! You deserve to live a full live like everyone else!
I hope this video helps someone to take steps towards improving their mental health, like seeking a therapist or looking for the right doctor to help you find the most appropriate medication for you!

I was sent to a psychiatrist when I was 14 years of age. I did not even have the words to describe depression. My journey started then. I'm a fighter with a psychiatrist I have been seeing for 14 years. We just added Wellbutrim to my med regime. Wow what a nice lift. I'm 50 years old and therapy saved me. I love you and your insight and wisdom and that flair, ❤️
A pediatrician at Norton Hospital told me there is a genotype test available, or something like that, where they do a mouth swab and can see what kind of antidepressants you metabolize the best. When you get the results back, it categorizes the antidepressants into red, green, and yellow zones. Then you are able to see what medications work best for your body chemistry. I’m sorry, I don’t remember the name of the test.
I completely understand. Depression is a dark place. I have it myself. It’s so hard to push yourself to enjoy life. Thank you for sharing
I too suffered from bulimia when I was younger. Wanting to be the perfect weight.. and suffering from depression also.. I’m on celexa .. it’s helped me. I get down every once in a while since I’ve got older. I’m in my 60s now. You seem like a very kind person.. i used to paint and draw a lot when I was young. I like some of your art too.. stay safe Tiago .. ❤
Tiago you are such a beautiful soul xx I suffer from anxiety and depression it not easy too deal with xx sending you love ❤️

I know how you feel Tiago it’s such a fight everyday. I always say it’s so hard living inside my head. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
It's not easy sharing our personal life like you just did. That's public service, actually. Well done💪
Thank you my dear friend, miss you
You made me tear up a little. I completely understand what you are saying. I don’t suffer from severe depression but I feel down a lot. Not feeling like going out and just stay in bed I can relate so much. Is hard to feel hopeless sometimes. Thank you 🙏

You are an angel, love you my friend. Thank you for being in my life!
Tiago como gostei de o ouvir e me motivou a pensar noutro tratamento. Na realidade desisti da medicação e pensei que conseguia lutar sozinha.
Sinto me exausta, não tenho vontade de estar com ninguém. Combino coisas e depois não consigo sair e cumprir. Depois sinto me culpada e enfio me na cama. Adorei o seu depoimento e muito me ajudou a fazer uma mudança crucial😊❤😊😊😊❤
Sinto me uma preguiçosa, lenta😢😢
Querido Tiago, obrigada por compartilhares a t/experiência. Acho-te uma pessoa boa, doce e muito talentoso. Compartilhamos uma nação, uma língua, uma cidanania, e a depressão. Desde que o meu pai faleceu, luto contra ela. Não é fácil e há dias onde só o meu cãozinho chihuahua me faz sair da cama, mas é assim, há dias bons e dias maus, mesmo estando bem medicada. Há ajuda, mas é preciso procurar-la e nunca desistir. Uma pena que já não vivo na área de NY, senão gostaria de te dar um abraço em pessoa, mas como agora estou a viver em Portugal, mando-te um virtual. Please stay well. Beijinhos 😘 🙏🙌❤️
Muito obrigado pela partilha, querida amiga. E por todo o apoio. Um grande abraço
It's so Great to hear your story Tiago! 😁 We spoke on Instagram about my own struggles with an Eating Disorder and why I finally chose Art. I was told Art is not a 'real job' but finding you has been part of my journey. You are an inspiration 💕 Thank you 😊
Your words made me so emotional, I congratulate you on your own journey! Thank you for being a part of this community, my friend :)
São temas que as pessoas devem parar um pouco para refletir...Anorexia nervosa é mais comum nas adolescentes...sofrem as famílias e as próprias jovens...
Thank you for sharing

Gostei de o ouvir, e sei do que fala. Obrigada!
