I had a black dog, his name was depression

featured image

At its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition. Millions of people around the world live with depression. Many of these individuals and their families are afraid to talk about their struggles, and don’t know where to turn for help. However, depression is largely preventable and treatable. Recognizing depression and seeking help is the first and most critical towards recovery.

In collaboration with WHO to mark World Mental Health Day, writer and illustrator Matthew Johnstone tells the story of overcoming the “black dog of depression”. More information on the book can be found here: /

I had always thought of myself as a shy, cautious fellow. Careful. Overly averse to risk, rejection, or danger. But the fact is, at certain times in my life I've taken huge risks--quitting an interesting, secure, teaching position to try and make a living doing comedy for example. Or, creating a humor-filled documentary on a controversial mental health diagnosis, despite not being a doctor and never having made a documentary.

And then there are the less 'life-changing', but to me, equally memorable moments of spontaneity. Here's the story of one act of impulsivity that turned out better than I could have imagined. A lesson in seizing opportunities, but also being prepared to make them happen.
