TTD Episode 1: So What is this Depression Thing, Anyway?

Here is the first episode of the podcast when it was called "Taming the Dragon". This episode gives a brief explanation of what depression is described as by people who don't have it vs. what it truly feels like. I outline an immediate strategy for getting help when you realize that you're probably suffering from depression or anxiety.

I briefly mention the wonderful book Darkness Visible, by William Styron, which describes the inner landscape of depression very accurately.

Also check out this hilarious cartoon, Tales of Mere Existence: How to Cope with Depression. (Not safe for work, I'm afraid.)
