On World Day Against Depression, Búscome wants to “raise his voice to make it clear to society that depression is not a triviality, but a disease which, while invisible, can become chronic and lead to suicide.” The symptoms are very harsh, they recall, and those who suffer from depression suffer the consequences of a stigmatization that is ironic with its consequences ”.
“The data is alarming and affects more than 300 million people in the world, but at Búscome we want to target female victims of gender violence, as depression is one of the most common symptoms among other clinical pictures. It is the immediate environment and especially the health center that can detect a situation of abuse after a direct observation of the mood, as many women do not recognize that they are experiencing an experience of gender violence ”.
In this sense, Búscome affirms that “at this time more women have fallen into a deep state of depression after harsh confinement with the abuser. More social awareness and therapeutic assistance covered by Social Security is needed as not everyone can afford therapy. You should even run awareness campaigns because there are those who suffer from sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or lack of self-esteem, sleep or appetite disorders, feelings of fatigue and lack of concentration, and do not recognize that the picture is initially depressed ”.
For this reason “we demand more mental health policies, the great forgotten medicine”
