你不是一个人：心情不好？我们聊聊吧！
心情不好？我们聊聊吧！
每年的4月7日是“世界卫生日”，是人们庆祝世界卫生组织诞生的周年纪念日！
每年都会有一个主题入选，以突出全世界人民关心的一个重要卫生事项。今年的主题是“抑郁症：我们聊聊吧！”
为什么会选择抑郁症？
抑郁症累及任何国家任何行业任何年龄的人。不幸的是，人们对抑郁症缺乏真正的了解，从而导致诊断治疗率过低。有时，这可能导致悲剧的发生。我们经常听到抑郁症患者因为人们的无知或疾病污名化而被孤立或忽视的不幸事件；对有些人来说，这意味着当他们明白抑郁症是种疾病时，已经太迟了，因为他们已经失去了亲人。
针对上述情况，我们应该行动起来！抑郁症患者不应该因患病而感到孤立无援、头顶污名或遭受指责。抑郁症可防可治。
让公众关注抑郁症，鼓励抑郁症患者聊聊所患疾病并寻求帮助，最后还要积极、公开地支持患有抑郁症的朋友和家人， 这样才能更好地治疗和克服这种隐藏的疾病。
这就是2017年“世界卫生日”我们提出让大家“心情不好？我们聊聊吧！”的原因。
都将有哪些活动内容？
我们将在世卫组织的社交媒体平台上发布对神秘嘉宾的专访。他们将与大家分享有关抑郁症的个人体验，包括曾经遇到什么问题，有哪些感受，如何克服的，以及患病对周围人有何影响。
同时，在4月7日“世界卫生日”当天，我们将在北京举办“我们边走边聊”健步走线下活动。我们希望强调积极生活方式的重要性，促进精神健康，为人们边走边聊出自己的感受营造出轻松的环境。活动形式为有400多人参加的5公里健步走活动。让我们一起边走边聊！
如果你愿意在宣传抑郁症知识中发挥积极作用，就请加入我们，让我们共同去除抑郁症的污名化！

Depression: Let's talk!
Every year, on 7 April, World Health Day is celebrated to mark the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization, aka WHO’s birthday!
Each year a theme is selected to highlight a pressing health issue of concern to people all around the world. This year’s theme is “Depression: Let’s Talk”.

Why depression?
Depression affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. Unfortunately, there is a lack of real understanding about depression, which leads to low rates of diagnosis and treatment. In some cases, this can end in tragedy. Too often, we hear terrible stories of patients with depression being isolated or not taken seriously due to ignorance and stigma; for some, it means understanding too late, when they have already lost their loved ones, that depression is a disease.
Stories such as these are our call to action! People who are struggling with depression should not feel alone, stigmatized, or blamed for their condition. Depression is both preventable and treatable.
By drawing public attention to depression, we hope to encourage people with depression to talk about their illness and seek help and be treated if needed. Furthermore, by actively and openly supporting our friends and family members who are experiencing depression, the better we can manage and overcome this hidden disease.
Which is why, this World Health Day 2017, we are asking everyone “Feeling down? Let’s talk!”
What will you find in the campaign?
We will publish exclusive interviews with our surprise guests on our social media platform. They will share their personal stories on depression including what problems they faced and how they felt about it, how they overcame their depression, and how it affected the people around them.
We will hold an offline event, ‘Walk and Talk’, on World Health Day, 7 April, in Beijing. We want to promote the importance of active lifestyles for mental wellness, and create a comfortable environment for people to talk about their feelings while walking. It will be a 5km walk and attended by over 400 people. Let’s Walk and Talk together!
If you want to play an active role in fighting ignorance in depression, join our campaign!
Let’s fight the stigma of depression together!
More information will be posted soon.
