Here’s a wonderful, shortish vidoe by writer and illustrator Matthew Johnstone about his story of overcoming the “black dog of depression”. Even if you don’t suffer depression, someone you know might. Understanding them will help them more than you can ever know.

What did you learn that can help you or someone you know?

Do his four words of, “I suffer from depression,” apply to you? If so, you are in the right spot.

Even if they don’t, we welcome you and encourage you in your fight against your own demons.

Upgrade: “I struggle with depression.”

Those four words carry more power. It is an active fight. I fight each day. And we can prevail.
