※ This video is part of the <Documentary View - What's Wrong with Depression?> broadcast on August 9, 2018. 'What's Wrong with Depression?' People who talk about depression People who have experienced depression are appearing in their own ways. Through people who reveal their depression through independent publications, YouTube, podcasts, and picture diaries, we are made to reconsider the prejudice and misunderstanding about depression. Through those who courageously talk about their depression, Documentary View delivers a warm message to our society that has become insensitive to emotional wounds: 'It's okay to talk about depression.' Author Jose (pseudonym), who published 'A Compliment Book for Those of Us with Depression,' has suffered from depression for nearly 10 years. Jose posts about his daily life on SNS. His posts are filled with complimentary comments such as 'Well done' and 'Amazing.' After his depression relapsed last fall, he had no choice but to lie in bed and cry or sit in a daze. Compared to when his depression was severe, Jose's current condition is something that deserves a lot of praise. In order to encourage people with the same pain as her, Joje created a compliment book where people can write their own compliments. It is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people who do not understand depression that this kind of daily life is something to be praised. Things that are taken for granted are surprising and praiseworthy to those suffering from depression. We want to eliminate prejudice and misunderstanding by directly listening to their honest stories of depression and understanding depression. Meanwhile, Seolgi (pseudonym), who has been receiving treatment for depression for three years, was in her 20s with too many things she wanted to do. She never once thought that she was depressed. In 2015, she became depressed and even considered suicide. Seolgi had a hard time admitting her illness to herself, but with the help of her boyfriend, she began to seek professional counseling and medication, and was able to lead a normal life. Seolgi insists that professional treatment is absolutely necessary more than anyone else. Many people think they can solve depression on their own, which makes the disease worse. Through the stories of cases of depression treatment and actual consultations, the documentary aims to show that depression is not a problem to be solved with willpower, but a brain disease that must be treated. “If necessary, I will consider hospitalization in the ward.” Hyun-kyung, who majored in design in college, is a book designer and exhibition and performance planner. She suffers from ‘bipolar disorder.’ When she is manic, Hyun-kyung becomes a workaholic who neither eats nor sleeps. Treatment for bipolar disorder is more difficult than depression. After going through a difficult time recently, she chose to be hospitalized in a closed ward. Although it was a short ten-day stay in the ward, she made a small book based on the diary she wrote there. It tells people who hesitate to be hospitalized even when they are overwhelmed by suicidal thoughts that a closed ward can also be a kind of emergency room where people live. Perhaps because they are soft-hearted, you can hear the stories of people in the closed ward who are in more pain. ✔ Program name: Documentary Viewpoint - What’s wrong with depression? ✔ Broadcast date: 2018.08.09 #GolladyeonDocumentary #DocumentaryViewpoint #Depression #Depression #WhenDepressed #Psychiatry #MentalHospital #MentalIllness #BipolarDisorder #MentalWounds #Mind #Treatment #Healing
