Pongsakorn Telavanich, a third-year International Relations student, contributed to the Matichon Online with his original article. In his article “Thai Society and Depressive Disorder,” Pongsakorn looked at depression through the lens of his personal experience. He started by addressing common people’s misconceptions about depression, giving his own personal experience, and trying to explain depression in a rational way. He concluded by urging readers to “think optimistically” and to assist those who are despondent in their efforts to move ahead.
