My dad has always been a great role model for vulnerability. We planned to talk about something else but a discussion about Pickleball (lol) led to talking about his lifetime experience with depression, and how he has managed it.
We discuss stigma then and now (1950s/60s vs. today), approaches to living with and treating depression, the power of exercise, medication, and lifestyle, hiding depression vs. being open about it, how others see depression, family history, and tips for helping yourself and others.
Thanks dad! He was super open and we were able to talk in depth about this topic on both a personal and societal level.
