Hello, Brianna. Your infographic is well-organized and informative. Recently, a close family member of mine got diagnosed with depression, and two years ago, one of my close friends passed away after dealing with it as well, so when I read the subtitle “What to Know Before It’s Too Late,” it hit close to home. Your infographic will serve as a knowledgeable guide towards myself and many others as I have obtained new information I didn’t know beforehand. Thank you for your creation to spread awareness, and congratulations on your nomination.

I liked the way it was short yet very much informative and interesting, As I currently live with one of my family member who is in extreme depression the test you have talked about in this article the Kutcher Test came out to be on a 3 and I know because I see her every day how difficult it is for her to get up from bed. I believe your article was helpful to me and I’ll try to help her more. Informational!

Depression in teens is well known but not well known enough, so I’m glad this article was made. The information in this article is visually pleasing due to its simple nature. It’s also very helpful for anyone who does have depression or might have it, because they can take advice from the treatment options and see if they have it using the options listed. Although it may not help everyone (because each case is different), it can certainly help many people suffering from depression.

Congratulations on your nominations! I think this infographic is very well put together. I like how you showed the symptoms and how someone gets diagnosed. Depression has such a large impact on so many people. Not many people are as open about depression as we should be. This is a great way to spread awareness!

Your infographic is so well written and I think it highlights the percentage of teens that can have depression. Since your statistics surround the age of high school/ college kids I think this was a great choice to write an infographic on.

Hello Brianna, First of all, congratulations on your nomination and getting your infographic published! I personally loved this infographic! Depression can be a sensitive topic, but you did an excellent job! It was very easy and pleasing to read and understand. Most of all, very informative on an issue that hurts millions with not a lot of attention towards the issue. Thank you for spreading and bringing awareness to such an important mental illness. Overall, what an incredible work and good luck!

Hi Brianna, Your article is very informative and very direct. Normally when you see or read an article on topics such as depression you get paragraphs on top of paragraphs, but you hit the most important points in one visual. It is so heartbreaking that the age group hit the hardest by this is so young, and even more so with the divide between women and men is so much. Maybe your next article topic could be about the difference between men and women when it comes to dealing with depression? Overall, great job:)

Hi Brianna! This was a wonderful infographic to read. As someone who has been diagnosed with depression, it was very interesting to see how it affects women more than it does men. I didn’t know there were multiple different tests that could have been done in order to diagnose someone with depression. I really enjoyed reading this and good luck at the award ceremony.

First I want to say congratulations on your nomination! This infographic is really nicely put together; it covers fundamental understandings of depression, and the facts you present demonstrate how common it is among young adults, as well as the gravity of this issue.  It was simple to read and understand while still having a strong message. Great job!

Depression is always a huge concern for mental health that caused a lot of trouble for us but some are still careless about depression. The symptom sometimes would be hard to diagnose because some people who are depressed but they hide it inside and then it became too late to know and they suicided. It is a great infographic with the fundamental understanding and how to diagnose people with depression so we can notice people we loved and help them.
