Depression & beyondblue

Depression, Health, Society & Culture

We kicked off our new time slot with a pretty moving show about depression… I had Shane of beyondblue share his emotional and touching story, battling this illness as a gay man — and I also decided to get a bit more real and share mine, as a survivor of post-natal depression. It was a bit confronting… however quite liberating!  We need to keep talking about this, or the stigma will never go away. And most of all know that it’s nothing to be ashamed of!

Check out beyondblue‘s page with resources and information about depression for the LGBTI community.
