Men Speak About Depression
A reader told me about some audio files of men (like firefighter Jimmy Brown, pictured) describing their experience with depression. They're very short but powerful.

It's always so encouraging to see men speaking out on any kind of health issues. I'm glad to see more of this happening. I truly believe it will help many returning veterans with PTSD and other issues to reach out and hopefully talk out.
Society has always made it so much harder for men to reach out and seek help or understanding. Maybe we're finally making progress on this.

I really liked this guy's story in particular as well. I only wish there were more/that the ones that are there were longer!
Thank you again for your response yesterday.
