On Wednesday the 9th of October Alan Harper from Aware came into us to talk about mental health in teenagers and young adults. It was a good talk and Alan was very clear with what he was saying to us.
I learned a lot from the talk and now I know that 1 in 10 people in Ireland suffer from depression. That means if you have a room full of 30 of your friends, 3 of them may suffer from depression.
And I also learned that not all people with depression commit suicide. It can be cured by anyone, all you have to do is listen to the person who is suffering from depression and talk to them about how they feel. I enjoyed the talk and it really opened my eyes to the world of mental health and depression.
Today we met Alan Harper from Aware, who mainly talked about depression in Ireland and how it is a serious problem today. He told us that 1 in 10 people in Ireland suffer from depression. I was quite shocked at some of the facts he told us. He explained to us how people should deal with depression and what are the symptoms of depression.
He told us that if we knew anyone who suffered from depression, to tell them to talk to people about it. I really enjoyed the talk and gave me a good insight into mental health.
