*2021: Video (Consumer) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exZYiy7sdJc The Truth about #DepressionSticks]
**Depression is nothing to laugh about or stigmatize.  @TruthInitiative has created a multi-million dollar ad campaign that does both.  @imaracingmom opens up about her struggle with depression and her pain magnified by the #DepressionStick misinformation campaign. They make light of youth depression and shame people for trying to minimize their suffering by any means necessary.  It's time we told them you will not shame me.  You will not reduce my suffering to a hashtag and you will not lie to me any more.
