cycle one · VISUAL ESSAY
Tori, a sixteen year old girl battling anxiety and depression, struggles to connect.
”Mental illness can come in many forms. Often times, people who suffer from depression can feel “unheard” and loose interest in daily activities. It’s important to bring awareness and break social stigmas of what depression looks like. This is a personal story for me as I know people who are suffering, or have suffered, from depression.” - Sydney C. Barfield
