For many of those suffering with
Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder, the feeling that they are either
incapable or not permitted to discuss their struggles openly serves as a demoralizing
obstacle to progressing with treatment and recovery. This frustrating sense of
isolation, of not feeling validated and understood, often deepens and lengthens
their suffering. Conversely, communicating openly about painful feelings with
those who will listen without judgment can bring an invaluable sense of relief
and comfort.
