To be fair, it isn’t their fault either. We all lack awareness and that’s the root of the problem. And one of the reasons for less awareness is that it is very hard to explain these conditions. For the person who is depressed and a target of anxiety, a lot goes through their minds. Ranging from introversion to suicidal thoughts, everything plays a role in sending the affected person deep into the vicious cycle of sadness and loneliness.

But, today we’ve got an illustrator to rescue us out of this one problem that is explaining depression and anxiety. This super good Sow Ay illustrates how depression and anxiety visually look like. Their past experience has allowed them to express it very clearly and that will allow us all o really get deep into the endless world of mental health conditions and understand what it really is.
