Depression is becoming a killer second only to cancer. However, due to a lack of awareness about depression and other mental illnesses, many people deny that their family members (especially their children) suffer from depression, refusing to accept medication and professional treatment. Instead, they choose to ignore the issue or show “tough love," which ultimately leads to tragedy.
The new documentary “Stories That Save Lives," produced by award-winning documentary director Professor Chuangfu Chang, tells the real experience of how two families who have fallen into the abyss of depression emerged from its depths. The two protagonists in this article bravely share their stories with the public and use their painful lived experiences to tell everyone:
Depression is terrible,
But just as terrifying is the stigma and shame,
The neglect and lack of awareness.
Please join UCA WAVES and our partners for a panel discussion, during which a 12-minute clip of the film will be shown, followed by a discussion with the featured family members, the filmmaker, and a psychiatrist. See the flyer for more details.

从痛不欲生到重获新生,《走出深渊》纪录片预告短片首映与剧中人现场座谈。
抑郁症，就像是大脑的“流感”，正在成为仅次于癌症的杀手。可是，由于对抑郁症的不了解，很多人拒绝相信家人（尤其是孩子）患有抑郁症，更加不能接受药物和专业治疗，而是选择忽视或硬撑，最终导致悲剧产生……
著名获奖纪录片导演常昌富（Chuangfu Chang）教授制作的全新纪录片《走出深渊》，讲述的是两个陷落抑郁深渊的家庭，如何走出深渊的真实经历。
本文的两位主人公，勇敢地走到公众的面前，用她们曾经痛不欲生的真实经历，来告诉大家——
抑郁症很可怕，
但比它更可怕的是“讳疾忌医”，
是逃避和无知……
请加入 UCA WAVES 和我们的合作伙伴进行小组讨论。我们会播放十分钟的电影剪辑，然后与影片故事的家庭成员、电影制片人和精神病医生进行讨论。有关更多详细信息，请参阅传单。
