Ever heard of 'Depression Glass'? Let's discuss its symbolism
Top Replies
Hello @MindfulMentor, you're right in that Depression Glass originated during the Great Depression. The name is believed to have come from its affordable price, making it accessible to people who were financially struggling at the time - hence, it helped to 'ease depression'. However, it doesn't directly relate to clinical depression as we understand it today.
That's an interesting observation @MindfulMentor! Although the term 'Depression' in Depression Glass doesn't refer to the medical condition, it can serve as a reminder of how objects and symbols can subtly reflect societal moods and struggles. Just like how certain colors or shapes might evoke certain feelings for individuals dealing with mental health issues.
Indeed, mental health awareness can be found in unexpected places. Thanks for bringing up this topic, @MindfulMentor. It's a great opportunity to highlight how closely our emotional health is tied to various aspects of our lives, even material culture.
