“Many of depression's symptoms - exhaustion, insomnia, nausea, headache...” — Gayle Forman Quote

“Many of depression's symptoms - exhaustion, insomnia, nausea, headaches, weight loss, weight gain - are physical ailments.”

“If the spectrum linking everyday depression to Major Depression sometimes hinders understanding of it, it also offers an opportunity for empathy. Because almost everyone, at some point, experiences feelings of sadness, of hopelessness, of emptiness, not to mention lethargy and irritability.”

“I have written a picture book that is based on my daughters. You know, my youngest one likes to tell everybody, 'Mommy wrote 'Best Day Ever' about us.' Which is true.”

“I guess I get a little impatient and frustrated when people ask what 'Manic Depression' is about.”

“We know how to treat depression, we know how to treat mental illness, and we have not had the political will in our country to make it happen.”

“I've suffered a little bit with depression in the past and I also have friends who have gone through depression.”
