Every day feels like a battle for those suffering from depression. Sadly, there is never just one symptom. Presently, there has been a new surge of people trying to recognize the effects of depression. The unbeatable feeling of not wanting to get out of bed, feeling misunderstood and having a sudden wave of agony can make anyone feel drained. Depression isn't about feeling sad. If anything, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Despite its prevalence, depression is associated with myths and stigma that can make it hard for anyone to be treated. It is a cathartic process and if people only view you as a "sad person," this line of thinking prevents an individual from accessing many effective depression treatment options.

To break out of all the limited knowledge on depression, a Twitter user (@ItsEmilyKaty) discusses the symptoms of depression "that no one talks about." People are still responding to and reflecting on Emily's tweets from 2020. However, it is to be noted that these symptoms may not apply to everyone. Depression also results from the intrinsic human tendency to be more sensitive to negative than positive events. Another element influencing the growth of negative thought patterns in many people is the pervasiveness of negativity on social media. Depression is viewed as a commodity in the media and has had a significant negative impact on people globally.
