"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1892. The story is told from the point of view of a woman who is imprisoned in a country house by her husband, a doctor, as part of treatment for her anxiety. She is forbidden from working or socializing, and her only entertainment is looking at the wallpaper in her room. The woman begins to see a figure trapped in the wallpaper, and her obsession grows until she identifies with the trapped figure. In the end, she destroy the wallpaper in an act of liberation, symbolizing her own freedom from her husband's control and oppression.

The story can be related to depression in many ways:

•Social isolation

•Loss of autonomy

•Feeling of being trapped

•Hallucinations and distortions

In conclusion, the story can be seen as a representation of the challenges faced by people living with depression and the consequences of treating the disease.

The Scale of the Problem

- For African women depression is a leading cause of disability

What Depression Looks Like

- Depression is not a simple feeling of sadness

- it is a disease that disables more people in Africa than HIV/AIDS, cancer or heart disease

- extreme fatigue, inability to concentrate or make decisions, feelings of guilt or anxiety, and a general loss of interest in life.

What’s at Stake

- This impaired ability to function in day-to-day life creates profound hardship in Uganda and Zambia, where life is community-centered and reliant on each person fulfilling her role

What We Are Doing

- training lay community workers to deliver mental health services through group therapy sessions, we are able to provide depression treatment to the most underserved populations in sub-Saharan Africa.
