After her mother almost died five years ago from the disease depression, Angelea has made it her mission to educate others about depression. Often called the invisible killer, depression is just as deadly as diseases such as AIDS and cancer, but receives little attention from the public and media. Because people are afraid, or even reluctant to talk about this disease due to the negative stereotypes our society has attached to it, Angelea is dedicated to educating others about this disease.
