PHOTO ESSAY - DEPRESSION
"nothing matters anymore"
"(n) depressive disorder, clinical depression, depression (a state of depression and anhedonia so severe as to require clinical intervention)"
"It's an epidemic of modern times - depression:
1 in 5 people will experience depression in their lifetime. Over 50% of them will not seek treatment.
This year alone 1,000,000 people in Australia will experience a depressive illness.
Depression is the third largest individual heath problem in Australia after heart disease and stroke.
There are still high levels of stigma associated with depression."
"The World Health Organisation estimates that depression will be the number one cause of disability in both the developed and developing worlds by 2030. [20]"

The way that Kim is almost totally hidden by the confusion of stripes is a real indicator of your ability to see beyond the normal and venture into the depth of the mood.
My congratulations to you both. Kim has given you a trust that must never be treated lightly.
Continue your work with people with the knowledge that you hold a little of their lifeblood in every image you take.
Never, ever stop.

I'm liking this one better than the standing up one. with your model laying down and going into the fetal position makes for a better statement of depression, i think. I also think the shadows and stripes give visual interest to the shot and are nice leading lines to your subject. Good use of them
