How can humor help you with depression and anxiety?
Meet Dave Mowry!
Dave is an Author of 2 books about living with a mental illness. OMG That’s Me! and OMG That’s Me! 3. Teacher of stand-up comedy to folks with a mental illness, Co-executive director at NAMI, and popular podcast guest.
What started out as a couple of blog posts blossomed into a following of over 1,000,000 people—who have all read and been touched by Dave’s stories. The most extraordinary thing he found when writing about his experiences is that the most common comment about his work is “OMG that’s me. You are telling my story. I don’t feel so alone now.”
Living with mental illness is hard, but it’s especially difficult when dealing with more than one condition at the same time. Many books about coping with mental illness focus on one disorder, such as anxiety, panic attacks, or depression. Because Dave Mowry didn’t see any that dealt with his situation of living with multiple disorders simultaneously, he decided to write about it himself.
