Depression is much more than just sadness.
.. feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting.
![Page 22: Current issues in Guidance and Counseling in the Philippines](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c8bc164a7959012a8b459e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Depression is a major risk factor for suicide.
The deep despair and hopelessness that goes along with depression can make suicide feel like the only way to escape the pain.

Thoughts of death or suicide are a serious symptom of depression, so take any suicidal talk or behavior seriously.
It's not just a warning sign that the person is thinking about suicide: it's a cry for help.

The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health stated that untreated depression is the number one cause of suicide, the 3rd leading cause of death among their teenagers.

Natasha Goulbourn Foundation
Mindstrong, a campaign that focuses not on the tragedy of suicide and depression but rather on harnessing one’s mental resilience and cultivating a feeling of flourishing. These are antidotes to the downward spiral that depression brings.
![Page 34: Current issues in Guidance and Counseling in the Philippines](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c8bc164a7959012a8b459e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Essentially, the campaign helps make individuals more optimistic, mentally agile, self-aware,
self-regulating. It enables one to focus on one’s strengths and build better connections with the
people around him or her.
Mindstrong, like an earlier campaign, My Happy Hour, is an initiative not to treat
depression but to prevent it by taking positive steps in small, regular doses.
