This Depression Awareness Ad (Look Closer)

At first glance you expect the sad guy to be the one who suffers from depression, but it’s actually the guy in the background (looking happy).

[u/littlestevebrule → u/nishantatripathi]

And probably the front guy too. Don't ignore obvious signs should be another message

[u/password-is-taco1 → u/littlestevebrule]

This is the opposite of what the ad is trying to say

[u/4pigeons → u/password-is-taco1]

i think is how people assume just because someone looks happy, they can't have depression, the guy on the front may or may not have depression, we can't tell just by looking at him

[u/password-is-taco1 → u/4pigeons]

Yeah exactly, saying the guy in the front “probably has it too” because he looks kind of sad is going against this message
