Giving Voice to Depression
Depression affects more than 375,000,000 worldwide. So, if you don't have it yourself, you know someone who does. Giving Voice to Depression was founded to start discussions that reduce stigma and promote understanding. We look at depression from many angles. Terry McGuire, a journalist with depression interviews a guest each week about their experience of depression. Some have episodes, others live with the mood disorder chronically. All share things that do and do not help their mental-health management. After the pre-produced/edited guest's story, Terry and cohost/licensed therapist Dr. Anita Sanz comment on the issues presented. The episodes are informative, hopeful and seldom depressing. It's time to shine some light on depression's darkness! Join us.

We'd love to hear your feedback!
People with heart problems do not wait for a heart attack to address them.
People with diabetes do not rely solely on an EpiPen to control their illness.
And people with mental health challenges cannot wait until suicidal thoughts necessitate emergency actions.
Self-care and depression-management involve tuning in with your changing thoughts/moods, establishing and using a safety plan and personalized tools that work for you.
No illness is easier to treat when it's an emergency.
