Unspoken Casualties is a documentary that examines both the cause and effects of mental health and suicide of all age groups in the United States and features real people who have suffered from depression while having thoughts of suicide.
As we understand what suicide is, we hear from Silver Ochai, a mental health technician from the Behavioral Hospital of Bellaire in Houston and understanding the facts about this important issue. Three women were interviewed on this topic including one of our writers.
Chariti-Johnson Hamilton is one of the many people that has experienced depression at a young age and has also made attempts to commit suicide. Throughout her story, she takes a look back on how she suffered from depression while being in lockdown for an entire year as well as other times she has experienced depression pre-pandemic. One interviewee chose to go as anonymous on camera in order to tell her story about her isolation and the traumatic experience she faced when she was young.
