Depression is an incurable disease, but it doesn't have to be a life sentence. I have learned to manage through clinical depression, and am a happily married mother of two amazing angels, all while maintaining a successful career. One in 13 people worldwide have been diagnosed with a mental illness such as depression, however, the stigma surrounding these diseases makes us hesitant to share our stories.
I refuse to sit back and not share. In this episode of The Memoir, I share an extremely personal story about managing through a bout of depression years ago. Life was absolutely fabulous, but depression didn't care . . .
Remember, we are not broken . . . we are human. Together, we can remove the stain associated with mental illness and improve the statistics one story at a time.
