When most people picture depression, they imagine someone who can't get out of bed or someone whose life has visibly come to a halt. Because of that extreme image, millions of people quietly battling profound mental illness don't feel like they have the right to call themselves depressed.

Have you ever felt so down that you couldn't get out of bed? Or did you feel so hopeless that you thought the world would be better without you? Depression can make everyday tasks feel like a tremendous struggle.
