A Warm Hello to All,
I had read this today. The link was sent to me by a brain research foundation. So glad people will share and help to end any stigma, will raise awareness! "Depression Awareness On the Red Carpet" http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/29/health...eat/index.html I was uplifted when I'd read this article. Wanted to share it here with the NT family. Warmly, DejaVu Last edited by DejaVu; 07-30-2015 at 09:45 PM. Reason: typo |

Thanks DejaVu for sharing this link.
In my country (NZ) the topic of Depression (in very generalised terms) has made it onto prime time TV in the form of 30sec ads 'raising awareness' by local celebrities who suffer. (EnglishDave may recognize the name John Kirwan) However there's still much work to be done at the 'ordinary people' level - especially when we have a govt. that is consistently underfunding the public health service. Thanks Eva for such a poetic description and especially for emphasizing that depression comes in many forms and disguises. I wish I had your lyrical way with words but my foggy brain often struggles to get the basics out. |

Yes bluesfan,
I know John Kirwan very well. One of the greatest All Blacks from a team at the height of their power in the '80s+. I have also heard of his battle with Depression. I admire greatly one from such a background who has chosen to stand up publically and admit his Mental turmoil. It is a shame there are not more brave sufferers. Dave.
