A lot of people think of clinical depression as a condition
wherein the patient lies in bed immobilized with sadness and
despair. And sure, it can present that way. But depression can
show up in a lot of other ways too, including road rage, which
John details in a harrowing and darkly funny chapter of his
memoir. Learn why frat bros in fancy trucks set off a potentially
dangerous episode at the city dump.
We also hear about John finally getting help for his depression
at the urging of his wife after a great deal of resistance. John
experiences the unexpected joy and exhilaration of being told he
has a chronic mental illness.
And we check in on a role-playing game in the Dungeons &
Dragons tradition that’s helping teenagers navigate therapy.
John's acclaimed memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is
now available in paperback.
