Growing up, I never saw commercials about depression, and I'm grateful that times have changed. Although those commercials can be annoying at times, lol, their presence is a reminder that we're making progress. When I was a kid, I felt like I was alone in my struggles, but now young people can see themselves reflected in those ads. If just one child sees a commercial and feels empowered to open up to a parent or teacher about their struggles, that's a testament to the power of advertising and awareness!
