Ansiedade e Depressão

Felca's song 'Ansiedade e Depressão' delves into the often stigmatized and misunderstood realms of mental health, particularly focusing on anxiety and depression. The lyrics immediately confront the harsh reality that overcoming depression is not a simple feat, and social anxiety is a common struggle. By stating 'Ninguém supera a depressão' (No one overcomes depression), Felca highlights the persistent and pervasive nature of these mental health issues, suggesting that they are ongoing battles rather than problems with straightforward solutions.

The song also touches on the societal perceptions of therapy. The line 'A terapia é pra quem quiser' (Therapy is for whoever wants it) is followed by a rhetorical question that reflects a common stigma: 'Ué, mas terapia não é coisa de lelé?' (But isn't therapy for crazy people?). This juxtaposition underscores the judgment and misunderstanding that often surround seeking mental health support. Felca challenges this stigma by repeating that therapy is for 'quem é lelé' (those who are crazy), but in a way that reclaims and normalizes the need for mental health care.

The repetition of the phrase 'Ansiedade e depressão' (Anxiety and depression) throughout the song serves as a powerful reminder of the prevalence of these conditions. By mentioning 'jogar futebol com o Pelé' (playing football with Pelé), Felca uses a metaphor to illustrate the seemingly impossible dreams and aspirations that people with mental health struggles might have. The song encourages listeners to dance and engage with life despite these challenges, promoting a message of resilience and solidarity. Through its candid lyrics and relatable themes, 'Ansiedade e Depressão' offers a poignant commentary on the realities of living with mental health issues and the importance of seeking help and understanding.
