the depression episode
(feat. a brief history of "the blues" + managing mental health in recovery)
Trigger Warning: All episodes discuss addiction, depression, anxiety, mental health and the recovery process in depth. If there is any additional triggering material that needs noting there will be mention at the beginning of the episode.
DeAnn reflects on depression: the signs, acceptance, shared experience, and how she deals with its daily challenges. She offers a brief history of “the blues” and dives into the tragic tale of folk musician Jackson C. Frank and his song, Blues Run the Game. Finally, she touches on the relationship between addiction and depression—plus the correlation between mental health, recovery, and relationships.
