One of things so bad about depression and bipolar disorder is that if you don’t have prior awareness, you don’t have any idea what hit you Picture Quote #1

In total, I was diagnosed with depression by eight psychotherapists and psychiatrists over a period of thirteen years. Diagnosed wrong. Absolutely wrong. My accurate diagnosis was manic depression, or what we call bipolar disorder today Picture Quote #1

Several politicians and wives of politicians have been public about their experiences with depression or bipolar illness, including Lawton Chiles, Patrick Kennedy, Tipper Gore and Kitty Dukakis. Each made a tremendous difference by doing so Picture Quote #1

Love is great and it does help a lot of people, but a lot of people do have things like depression or schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or other disorders, all of which will need to be addressed in order for people to stay in long-term recovery Picture Quote #1

We were in the heart of the ghetto in Chicago during the Depression, and every block - it was probably the biggest black ghetto in America - every block also is the spawning ground practically for every gangster, black and white, in America too Picture Quote #1

For some reason I am one of those people who act like they were born and raised during the Depression Picture Quote #1

My parents were both born and raised in the Depression. They instilled great values about integrity and the importance of hard work, and I’ve taken that with me to every job Picture Quote #1

Stasis is something that has marked my life since I was a boy growing up in Pittsburgh with my mother. It was the natural state that we existed in. For one thing, she suffered from a debilitating depression throughout my childhood, and depression is nothing if not static Picture Quote #1

Nothing mitigates the throes of depression like a steaming plate of spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce and grated parmasan cheese, with a good fresh bread to wipe up Picture Quote #1

The only reason I’ve shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression Picture Quote #1

With depression, you can go in and out of it and not really know whether it’s still there or not. Sometimes I’d find myself bursting into tears for no reason Picture Quote #1

When someone takes their existing business and tries to transform it into something else - they fail. In technology that is often the case.

School performance, public health, crime rates, clinical depression, tax compliance, philanthropy, race relations, community development, census returns, teen suicide, economic productivity, campaign finance, even simple human happiness - all are demonstrably affected by how (and whether) we connect with our family and friends and neighbours and co-workers Picture Quote #1

Victimhood and a ‘can’t do’ spirit is what the Democratic Party has mostly been about since the Great Depression Picture Quote #1
