Depression loneliness

The Irish Times carries a story today about a young woman who came from Nigeria to live with her father after the death of her mother.

Zeenie Summers writes: "Like depression, loneliness where I am from is not acknowledged. It's seen as boredom and expected to pass in a while. So I thought my pain would pass until I realised it had eaten deep into the core of my being."

Powerful and true.
