Mental illness is a serious worldwide problem with millions affected. Sadly, so many suffer in silence, fearing vulnerability and stigma.

On today’s episode I team up once again with my good friend Larry Ruttman (a past guest here and host of his own podcast “A Life Lived Backwards”).

We produced two pods on his platform about our respective  encounters with depression. I thought it was worth producing a single ON MIC podcast  to again share our  individual stories of struggle , and more importantly, our paths to  healing. If this motivates you or someone in need to seek  help, then we will have accomplished something worthwhile.  We are NOT dispensing medical advice, for that you should consult a qualified physician. What we are doing is as old as civilization  itself; telling  deeply personal stories that remind us we are all very much part of the human family.
