:: BEYOND BLUE ::Depression is a silent and debilitating illness affecting almost 50% of the world's population. Many do not seek treatment. Depression and anxiety can appear differently at different stages of the life cycle.
This kit is special to me in the sense it is something from which I suffer and battle with on a daily basis, and I have tried to incorporate some positive aspects into it which help bring me hope (ie. my dog, as featured).
