‘depressed’ had no weight for me; I just assumed it meant sad‚ and maybe he had been so sad he just drifted away. Skip forward about one year: I was in fourth grade now and had just come home from school. I went to my older brother’s room to ask for a snack when I found him…he was curled up in the corner of his room‚ softly crying. Nothing could’ve been more bizarre to my nine-year old eyes than this sight. I was scared and ran from the room: that was my first glimpse of my brother’s descent into depression
