This TedTalk has influenced my life greatly.

I love Tedtalks in general but this one changed my life. I show it to anyone I know with depression and also to my friends who do not have depression because I think Andrew Solomon explains it in a better way than I have ever seen, heard, or read before. He breaks it down perfectly and makes it so someone without depression can see that a person suffering from it may not be just "lazy" but legitimately unable to do every day tasks because of their mental illness.
