Joyce Van Drost Week 4 Response

Are there more depressed people than there were in the olden days? Or are we just more aware?

Are we more aware of depression because of education? Or because it has a negative stigma attached to it?

Are women more likely to develop depression than men? Or are men not willing to admit that they might just have it?

Are we continuously looking at our phones just to keep up with what’s going on? Or are we preparing to size ourselves up against people on our feed?

Are we telling ourselves that we need to look like these people in media platforms? Or are feeding unrealistic expectations to ourselves?

Are we not happy with the life we’re leading and realizing we have little time left to change it? Or are we giving an excuse to have a mid-life crisis?

Are money and success making us happy? Or are we just feeding into society’s thought of what is supposed to make you happy?

Are men suffering with depression taking their lives easier than women? Or are women just not as violent and certain on committing suicide?


Just because you can’t physically see depression on someone, doesn’t mean it should go unnoticed.

Depression can come about in many different ways, and can vary from mild to severe cases.

Some people suffer from depression throughout their entire lives, and some can grow out of little bouts of depression.


We shouldn’t feel uncomfortable just because we don’t fully comprehend.

We should feel uncomfortable at least attempting to understand.
