** Note:  This episode includes a frank discussion about depression and mental health, and may impact those sensitive to depression**

Depression typically affects about 15% of Americans, and conservatively about 8-10% of the global population... and since COVID depression has skyrocketed.  Every person's experience has its own symptoms and challenges, and kink like ABDL can be both a sooting relief and an exacerbation.

This week we talk to one of our ABDL friends, DiapersAndBrews (FL, IG) about his experience with depression and the overlap with his ABDL kink.
