Date: 2019-04-07

Do you have depression or know someone who does? We made this video, because a long time ago, someone asked us, how to do you know someone with depression likes you? And how do we become more sensitive to that? Sometimes, it can become hard for someone with depression to openly admit their feelings for you. If you're someone with depression or know someone struggling with depression, who might have a fancy on you. Then this video is for you. 
Hope you find it helpful.
