A video by Russian actor Tanya Galakhova, vividly illustrating what living with depression feels like, has struck a chord online, quickly going viral. Shared on Instagram, the clip has already racked up over 1.2 million views, with viewers praising the raw and honest depiction of mental health struggles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the video, Galakhova portrays depression as an almost physical force, taking over her body and controlling her actions. From endless scrolling to staying cooped up at home, and tuning out conversations to isolating herself from others, the video captures the invisible ways depression can dominate daily life.<\/p>\n

The most haunting imagery shows Tanya wearing grey-tinted glasses, which transform the world around her into a muted, lifeless landscape, a striking metaphor for how depression can distort one\u2019s perception of reality. \u201cDepression is real! If you recognise yourself \u2014 you didn\u2019t realise it,\u201d the caption reads.<\/p>\n
