Spider-Verse’s Mental Health Awareness could have used some work.

So I just got done watching the short for Into The Spider-Verse, that one clip for mental health awareness.

But it needs work.

Miles is a superhero. Leading a double life, a teenager, one a super hero, and he's literally hopping from dimension to dimension, his life can end any minute. Watching the films (Especially the second one) You can see "why" Miles can be depressed.

This "mental health awareness" once again is showing that you can only be depressed by obvious trauma. People extremely ignorant to how bad mental health works, would watch this, turn to thier friend who has depression "for no reason" and would say "See! You get depression from bad things happening to you. You had a good life, privileges, ect. You shouldn't be depressed" is what they'll say.

Just wanted to rant about that. Any time they try to do awareness like this, the character they have to portray it, has obvious reasons to why they would even have any mental health issues.

But what about us who simply has depression because life decided "Let me fuck this one guy up,"
