Director Statement

El proyecto busca reflexionar sobre las sigilosas enfermedades mentales, y cómo sigue existiendo un estigma en la sociedad acerca de ellas. Para muchas jóvenes mujeres, vivir con depresión y ansiedad se vuelve una lucha vergonzosa y solitaria, la cual tienen que ocultar y empujar al final de la lista de pendientes para no levantar sospechas. Incluso hoy en día, muchas enfermedades y trastornos mentales no son diagnosticados, especialmente en las mujeres, ya que se adjudican los síntomas a su "naturaleza emocional" o a su desbalance hormonal. Aún cuando actualmente se cuenta con mucha información y recursos para atender estos trastornos, el prejuicio de la sociedad hacia las personas en tratamiento psiquiátrico sigue siendo fuerte.
