Why does the stigma around depression still endure?

Tricky is the place to discuss difficult questions away from the bear pit of social media.

Musician James Alexander Graham, film maker Harleen Nottay, yoga teacher Finlay Wilson & artist Ruby Streek discuss the stigma around depression and what people don't get about it.

Despite more information being available than ever, depression is still a subject people are reluctant to talk about.  Our panel explore why that's still the case and how they live with depression. They've all had experiences that show there's still plenty people don't understand and this can lead the uneducated to make blunders big and small.
