My depression was induced by extraneous reasons even though I suspect my sensitive nature put me at risk. Once I had an insight into why and how I was going down the tubes, I was able to regain my life with some specific changes in my personal life. It is three years now and I am “Living Again”. (The title of my fourth collection published earlier this year). My recovery has unleashed creativity that I did not know existed. I write poetry, paint with oil and water colors, make glass mosaics and now take unique photographs of landscapes, birds, particularly sunrises and sunsets.

There is hope for anyone with proper evaluation and treatment.
