Bolesti tela privlače saosećanje, kaže komičarka Rubi Veks -- ali to ne važi za mozak. Zašto? Vrcavom energijom i humorom, Veks, koja deceniju pati od kliničke depresije, traži da okončamo žigosanje koje nastaje zbog mentalne bolesti. 

Mental health struggles affect one in four people, yet society often meets them with jokes or silence instead of empathy. Unlike a broken leg, depression rarely inspires cards or casseroles, only awkward calls to 'perk up.' The brain, with its billions of neurons and ancient stress responses, is not built for modern life. Without conversation and understanding, every person is at risk of suffering in isolation.
