Depression To make something that will help people with major depressive disorder communicate how they are feeling with ease. Aimed at people between ages of 18 to 25. This product focus on helping people with low mood express themselves and hopefully make them feel less isolated. Depression can be put into five categories of symptoms; emotional, motivational, behavioural, cognitive, and physical. I am going to focus on the emotional side of depression.
From the research I have found that the biggest problem people with major depressive disorder face is communicating their feelings. 6.9% of the world have depression and females are twice as likely to be depressed. This project aims to make it easier for people to communicate their feeling. There is also a current trend in circular fluffy keyrings.
