      Your right its an invisible illness, theres still shame about depression, i do feel its getting more reconised, it can be beaten im so sorry about your brother, i know alot about depression its triggers, there is a debate weither its in the genes or learnt behaviour, i go with learnt behaviour unless its serious mental health but that's my option lol no shame in it happens to 1 in 4 people but probley more there just the cases that are reported,men dont seem to seek help its nothing to be a shamed off, mm look at the time nearly food time lol x
