Though mental illness is slowly emerging from under the burden of stigma, each individual’s journey is an arduous one, especially when the world appears full of people who have it all…or do they?

Dr. Deborah Serani’s new book, Living with Depression, takes a look at 400 famous people who suffer from mental illness, from actors to athletes, entrepreneurs to world leaders who all have one thing in common: mental illness.

Dr. Serani herself says it best as to why such a book is so necessary in today’s world:

The more that high profile people share their experiences with depression, the more stigma gets its butt kicked. There's no shame living with a mental illness - and after you learn about the well-known men and women who do, you're sure to decide you're in good company.

Full story at Dr. Deborah Serani.

Confronting mental illness head on.
