depiction of depression and anxiety
Visualizing Lies

AWI Winner, April 2019
13. SHARE WITH US:
What did you think?
How did you feel?
● The film lacks in the different versions of
how depression presents itself. (Sadness
as a facet, but not its entirety)
● The film helps see the behind the scene
impacts of depression, and reflects on
how to be more present with friends going
through depression/anxiety.
● It’s difficult sometimes to find help, and
leaning on friends or loved ones can be
helpful. Even the smallest act (a text or
call) could make the difference.
14. How does stigma feel?
● Judged
● Limits what we feel like we have
control over
● Racial stigma: Assuming
intelligence based on cultural
languages, and the real world
impact that has on young people
15. What makes it difficult
to reach out for help?
● People not knowing how to help
when you break down. You stop
asking for help as a result.
● Knowing where to even look for
help. (Family as a start for
guidance, but not always being
the answer)
● When you feel like your struggles
are a burden to your loved ones,
and the guilt that comes with that
(even with their permission).
