Depression is hard to explain. To ourselves, to others, and especially to children. When we're sad or angry and we isolate or lash out, they are likely to be afraid and to think they've done something wrong-- that they caused, or at least contributed to our mood and behaviors. 

A father who lives with depression and ADHD and is in recovery for addictions wrote a book to help start those needed conversations. It's called "Sometimes Daddy Cries," and in this 19-min episode, we look at the very adult realities behind the children's story.

Depression affects more than 300,000,000  worldwide. So basically, 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. A journalist with depression pre-produces short (7-10 minute) interview segments, and then the sister co-hosts, who both live with depression, comment on the issues presented. The episodes are informative and hopeful-- and seldom depressing.  It's time to shine some light on depression's darkness! Join us.
