Barbie Speaks Out About Mental Health

A video recently went viral on Facebook of Barbie taking about about depression from her YouTube channel.

Surprising, right? In the video, the beloved character talks about how sometimes she feels herself getting the blues. As a result, she will start to doodle, or write, or do some “big belly laughs”. And then the video gets more serious. Barbie starts to talk about how sometimes she will still feel blue, and she will still feel sad. Because of that, she will feel guilty about it since she’s known to be an upbeat and cheery person.

But the most inspiring thing she says at the end of the video is “ you can’t have the spring without the winter…and the winter is beautiful.” Who would have thought your favorite childhood doll could give out emotional advice like this? Check out the video, as it’s well worth the watch.
