Photograph taken in a subway, text above a man not smiling at all : STEFFEN HAS DEPRESSION.
And another text above a man behind, laughing with a friend : THIS IS STEFFEN.

Depression isn't as obvious as it seems, Find out more here: deutsche-depressionshilfe.de

From German depression and suicide prevention.

@augmentedrobot so true, so very true.

@augmentedrobot

Fuck! This is genius!

@augmentedrobot

yup

the most depressed people are often the ones with the biggest smile on their face and seemingly always so cheerful and carefree

inside, they are falling apart

@augmentedrobot brings new meaning to the phrase "one two dollar subway token from jumping off a bridge"

@augmentedrobot I'm reminded of this, from Norwich City Football Club:

@augmentedrobot

Talking about depression in terms of advertising sounds somehow wrong. It's as if we need to market depression successfully to make it spread...

@augmentedrobot kind of reminds me of this one

@augmentedrobot Was ist mit Menschen, die kein Englisch können?

@augmentedrobot it reminds me of this meme. You could template it the same!

@augmentedrobot

This is worth watching too

@augmentedrobot

Is he depressed because of the spelling of his name?

@augmentedrobot To function normally, even though your state is not normal; this is permanent acting, while everyone else is allowed to be natural; this is permanent speaking in a foreign language, while everyone else is allowed to speak their mother tongue; this is permanent fighting with yourself and the world, while everyone else is allowed to be free. One obviously fails, another forces himself to do it every day, yet another has successfully internalised it - but all three suffer.

@augmentedrobot I don't think that this picture helps to make depression understandable. Depression is not sadness. But the picture tells exactly this.

@augmentedrobot This reminds me strongly on this video https://youtu.be/tX8TgVR33KM?si=yXljfmSq63RkMUzx

@augmentedrobot In the same style: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tX8TgVR33KM

@augmentedrobot I didn't see the "This is Stephen" part and was very confused 🤣

@augmentedrobot The foreground man is Richard.

He's praying it's just gas, please let it just be gas. He'll never have spicy food for lunch again, it it can just be gas.

Depression isn't as obvious as it seems

@augmentedrobot That is perfect.

@augmentedrobot when me and my sister meet the follow-up appointments for depression: giggle along the way. but when we happen to skip the medicine for once: desperate.

@augmentedrobot While true, this does not state anything that would be helpful.

Like how one would notice someone who might require help or what to do in order to help. :/

@augmentedrobot it took me a really long time to get that the "this is steffen" text meant the person behind the text and it wasn't just put next to the guy laughing cause of layout lol...

@augmentedrobot

I think, you might have realized by now, it's a bit hard to count as the best ad when most people miss half of the message.

@augmentedrobot thats brilliant

@augmentedrobot@social.linux.pizza
It's odd that i "find" this as late as summer 2024, three years after therapy. Thanks for sharing!

@augmentedrobot "as obvious as it seems" isn't optimal wording. How can something seem obvious that you don't recognise most of the time. "As you might think" would've been better. Otherwise great!
