"Depression is all in your head."
I have lived 14 years in his world and many things disgust me in modern day society. However some stand out above the rest. Here is one of them :
This is Nicole Arbour. She's a YouTuber with over 400K subscribers, even though she releases many controversial videos there is one where she claims that Depression is nothing but a made up concept.
In this video, Nicole suggests Depression is very beatable, and that we should express how happiness is a choice, rather than place emphasis on depression being an actual mental illness. In essence, she implies depression is merely a fantasy
She continues to explain that in an era where mankind is revolutionizing technology and luxuries are flourishing, one simply should not be depressed.
She expresses how she's heard of every possible argument a victim may have against her opinion, and states Depression is something you can just get over. Apparently, escaping Depression is an easy decision you make just when you snap your fingers.
In spite of her attitude toward the audience, as she flaunted her faultless ability to oppose the idea that Depression is a legitimate illness, Arbour knew the onslaught that was coming and disabled the comments, likes and dislikes for her video. She contradicted herself and couldn't face the backlash, which she knew was coming.
Nicole gives four "quick tips" to get over Depression and denies the need of anti-depressants in our society. Although she isn't wrong about incorporating positivity being majorly beneficial to your mental health, she puts across her thoughts in an overly condescending manner.
I am disgusted by people who use their popularity to dish out false information, or to give off that negativity and fear to hundreds of thousands of people.
Videos like this make it more difficult for those who do suffer from mental health problems to open up, for fear they will be told to just "get over it". The truth is, Depression doesn't give you a choice when it decides to take over.
Being someone who has felt overwhelmingly helpless no matter what I did, including her four tips, I was deeply hurt by the video. I suddenly felt as though I had no right to feel the way I did.
And no one deserves to feel like that.
