Semicolon Symbol Mental Health

Why Is the Semicolon a Symbol of Depression?

The choice of the semicolon as a symbol for depression and other mental health challenges is rooted in its metaphorical significance. In the narrative of life, depression can feel like a full stop, an ending. The semicolon challenges this perception, suggesting that the story continues; it’s just taking a brief pause.

This symbolism resonates deeply with many who have experienced depression. It represents resilience in the face of adversity and hope for a brighter future. The semicolon reminds individuals that they have the strength to move past their current challenges and continue writing their life story.
