Stigma

One of the biggest roadblocks to recovery for those who suffer from depression is our culture’s tendency to stigmatize it.  At iFred, we believe that there is negative stigma associated with depression and mental health disorders, and that this stigma is a leading reason people do not receive the help they need.  We are working to rebrand depression with the sunflower and the color yellow in order to end stigma.  #endstigma #shineyourlight
