to be collaborating with Elle today on a topic

I'm a very vocal advocate for mental health awareness

and suicide prevention, especially in teens.

And as someone who has struggled with clinical depression

it never fails to amaze me when people offer

you unsolicited advice on how to get over being depressed.

The assumption that your genetic depression comes

from your diet is such a great leap, you guys.

You're right, my brain chemistry's imbalance is mostly due

to the six planets currently in retrograde.

My sad mood will totally pass with the moon.

You know what you should really do is affirmations

the morning and evening, and think positively.

I'm just choosing the wrong things to think and feel.

Um, yeah, that's the exact definition of mental illness.

Oh, I mean, you don't seem like you're depressed.

You know, you don't need medication to cure depression,

there's lots of natural ways you can go about it.

Would you like to tell me more about that?

When someone discloses their mental illness to you,

offering up solutions or unsolicited advice

only serves to dismiss the mentally ill person's pain.

it's actually a very selfish thing to do,

because you're uncomfortable with their pain.

And the strange thing with mental illness is

that it's the only sickness where people feel

that like they're qualified to give you advice.

Like if I say I have leukemia or an autoimmune disease,

But you know there are things that you can

and should say that will alleviate the suffering

I don't understand, but I'm here for you.

and if you're struggling mental illness of any kind,

and surround yourself with kind-hearted people
