Emma Tom’s feature ‘Young and depressed’ in the March issue of Cosmopolitan, addressed the serious issue of depression and gave clear advice to young women about the illness. Readers congratulated Emma on providing a helpful checklist, personal testimony from SANE Speaker Denielle Campbell on her experience with depression - and on emphasising the importance of seeking treatment early.

StigmaWatch contacted Emma to pass on this positive feedback and acknowledge the value of letting young people know there is hope for treatment and recovery.
