On World Depression Day, Búscome wants to “raise its voice to communicate to society that depression is not a triviality, but a disease that, although still invisible, can become chronic and trigger suicide. “. The symptoms are very severe, they recall, and those who suffer from depression suffer the consequences of a stigma that is ironic with its sequelae. “
“The data is alarming and affects more than three hundred million people in the world, but from Búscome we want to focus on women victims of gender violence, as depression is one of the most common symptoms among other clinical pictures. It is the immediate environment and, above all, the Health Center who can discover a situation of abuse after a direct observation in the mood, as many women do not recognize that they are living an experience of gender violence ” .
In this sense, Búscome states that “in these times more women have fallen into a deep state of depression after a close confinement with the abuser. More social awareness and therapeutic help covered by Social Security are needed, since not everyone can afford a therapy, awareness campaigns are even needed, as some suffer from sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or lack of self-esteem, sleep or sleep disorders. hunger, feeling tired and lacking in concentration, and not recognizing that it is a depressing initial picture “.
Therefore, “we demand more Mental health policies, the great forgotten of medicine”
