About This Quote

The author of this quote, Bertrand Russell, was talking about the power of mental illness. Mental illness is something that few people understand, but society has made it seem like it occurs only in the rarest of cases. Mental illness is something that has affected many people throughout history and still does today. Mental illness is both a personal and social issue.

It’s not just something that one person feels. But, it’s also not something that everyone else feels. People who suffer with depression often feel alone.

They feel like they are the only ones suffering from this condition or that no one truly understands their pain or how to help them. However, what makes people more aware of mental illness is when others begin to share their experiences with them. This awareness gives people the strength to struggle through their misery and endure hardship without giving up on life altogether.
