Amores, I was preparing a cheese and dried fruit board to start the Globo soap opera marathon on my 98-inch smart TV. But a friend from Projac tells me about the strong emotional release related to a priest's mental health. It turns out that on Thursday (8), the iconic Ana Maria Braga received the charismatic Father Fábio de Melo on the morning program Mais Você. During the chat, the priest opened up about the tough battle against depression. "I've always been a melancholic boy. At a certain point, I realized that it had a name. Depression is not just a characteristic, it's something that, when it takes everything, takes away the will to live", he confessed. The presenter highlighted how essential it is, a topic that is still seen as taboo by a large part of society, to be addressed by prominent figures. The priest reinforced: "I get emotional because telling what we feel is a way to recognize the suffering of others. I've always been like that. I think I became a priest because I can't be indifferent to pain."

"My mother's death is an event that will never end. She was a woman who loved living. The way it affected me is profound", he revealed. And in relation to the disease, Father Fábio de Melo justified that the fast pace of daily life ends up depriving people of the opportunity to feel alive. "We don't suffer as much as we need to suffer. We live as if life doesn't allow us to live until the end. I think people don't have time for grief, don't have time for the end of a relationship, don't have time because we condition ourselves to a pace that our soul is not prepared for", he concluded.
