Hugging yourself

A Design for the Self-Adjustment of Depressed Patients ‘It is difficult to make others understand how desperate a deep depression can make you feel, how lost, how cope-less, how grim. Moreover, no light at the end of the tunnel’. ——Martha Manning The aim of this project is to comfort depressed patients in their daily lives and treat depression via products cooperating with psychotherapy. After researching the causes and symptoms of depression, and interviewing doctors and patients, I have made a set of objects for depressed patients. The products can also be used by people with depressive tendencies to help them begin practicing emotional hygiene. The project is based on my personal experience of one of my friends with depression committing suicide last year which made me sad and caused me to understand that depression is not only a low mood. This project is devoted to exploring the possibilities of a new way to cure depression and helping depressed patients to avoid suicidal thoughts.
