“The lack of communication about and around mental illness in general and depression specifically is really quite striking in this day and age.”
In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, host Donna Ferris speaks with Garry Cosnett, author of Everything Slows Down, a book chronicling his lifelong battle with depression and his eventual journey to peace. Garry offers a raw and candid look into how depression has shaped his life, the vital role his relationships have played in his recovery, and how his experiences have become part of the curriculum for Johns Hopkins psychiatry students.
Garry also discusses the unique ways he diagnoses his mental state, including his “Abbey Road test,” and shares the three practices that have helped him break free from the grip of depression. Whether you or a loved one are battling mental health challenges, Garry’s story will inspire hope and show that recovery is possible, even after decades of struggle.
