Depression and mental health are things we don't talk about every day. They're conversations we lack. Last week, on October 4, Kid Cudi revealed that he has been suffering from depression. This is no surprise to his fans as he has shown so many signs through his music. Although he's battling tough times, he's taking time off from the music to receive treatment.

Earlier this year, contemporary R&B musician Kehlani, was hospitalized after reportedly attempting to commit suicide.

These are two cases that have gone viral all for an important reason: awareness. How many times has someone showed you signs of sadness and anger? Most people brush it off and judge others. They don't take the time to empathize, support, or yet alone, care. It's unfortunate that Kehlani and Kid Cudi have been experiencing tough times with their mental health. Hopefully Kid Cudi's bravery encourages people to seek help and inform others about the seriousness of mental health and depression.
