This video explains the difference between depression and sadness, and it’s so raw

Kimberly Zapata is a wife, a mum, a writer and a mental health advocate.

The mum-of-one regularly shares her experiences of depression on her blog, Sunshine Spoils Milk, and knows the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental health.

The 33-year-old often talks about her own struggles and shares personal and intimate life experiences that would be far from the reality of many of us.

But she is doing it to help those who find themselves in her situation – those who struggle with mental health – and uses her blog to "bring a personal voice to a clinical problem".

In a video she shared on her Facebook page back in May, Kimberly highlights the difference between depression and sadness, in order to not only show the true reality of the illness but to help those who don’t suffer from it understand it a little better.

The video, which features Kimberly, is raw and real, and is a must-watch.
