    I care deeply about mental health. Yes, I’m a shrink so the interest comes with the territory, but it’s not just that. I get mental health and how debilitating and painful it is. I know a lot about mental health as I’ve been around it for quite a while; I struggled with it for a long time in childhood. Family members, friends, and people I see in my practice. I know its’ many faces and the different shapes it takes to deceive you and hurt you. I know about the fear, isolation, and loneliness, the emptiness, anxiety, and the deep darkness that comes with it. Because I know so much,…

    What depression is and isn’t. Feeling sad, unhappy, or getting “the blues” are not the same as depression. I want to be clear here, depression is not something to feel ashamed about, nor is it a sign of weakness. Depression is a clinical term that describes a very serious issue, an umbrella encompassing a wide variety of symptoms that must be present for a specific period of time and with various degrees of intensity.
