Depression: The dark night of the soul

Daniel Auf Der Mauer

Viola (not her real name) has suffered from depression and social anxiety since the age of 12. After Viola began taking drugs and cutting herself, she entered inpatient treatment at a private clinic for four months at the age of 17. "For the years before that, I felt like I was dead inside. I never showed any emotions because I simply didn't feel anything," says Viola.
