Depression is a thief. It steals our vitality, our sense of connection and worth. Our dreams. And sometimes our very will to live. This week's guest, Emily Derecktor knows losses. She worked hard to do well in school, get into top universities and earn admittance to medical school. And then depression stole that opportunity. For now, anyways. In this episode Emily shares about her mental health journey, and the range of ways depression can impact us, and derail our dreams. Next week Emily will share about a fabulous resource she's created for others with depression. In one of the most-practical episodes we've produced, we'll talk about hygiene, cooking and cleaning when depression makes even basic living skills too much. https://www.cerealfordinner.org/
