You're here because you were googling about depression, and I've written a couple of things that millions of people have found pretty helpful. Welcome, and hang in there. Here's what I've got.
These two articles have gone viral worldwide, and been read and shared by millions of people across the world.
After seeing the response to those pieces, I spent a couple years researching and writing a book, chock-full of all the latest research, in a a friendly, easy-to-read, and no-nonsense style.
It's turned out to really connect with people, and I get emails every week telling me how it's helped somebody finally get a handle on their depression. I'm heartened that it's become a resource for regular folks like us to handle and deal with depression.
That finally, we have a guide.
If you deal with depression, most of all, know that you're not alone, and you're not crazy. I and millions of people (about 20% of the population) deal with it too. It sucks and it is some major bullshit to go through.
And second, you're going to be ok, I'm going to be ok, and we're going to be ok. Figuring out depression is mind-bending and weird and exhausting and really, really hard sometimes. But you can do it.
There are great resources out there, and if mine don't resonate for you, just keep looking. Find what works for you, and keep searching until you've got it.
Be well. ❤️
