Mascots! #HAWMC

I cheated a little I went to the London 2012 Create a Mascot and made the above mascot. I know, its not a depressed looking mascot however does one need a mascot for depression? You can be the mascot for depression of any kind. You breaking down barriers of misconceptions, debunking myths about how people can live with depression. However if I had to put something down this is what I would come up with.

The mascot above has orange hair or Flame Hair as it draws attention to the head and that is cause of most depressions. There are floaters (Water Wings) on the mascot because sometimes you need some one to help you wade through the waters of the storm. I chose a blue vest as another safety device to help lift oneself out of depression. the shorts, ehh nothing to significant there.

I think depression is so individual that my mascot can't really represent every one's thinking and really unlike the pink ribbon or purple ribbons, there is no unifying term, definition and/or mascot that some one can say: "Ahh yes that is the symbol of depression.
