CAConrad talks with ken rumble about rumble's history of depression. it is a useful and important subject since all too often mental illness is regarded as a taboo topic, and worse, romanticized in popular culture as being the curse of the artist.

which is bullshit. my own history of mental illness is a long story of mute suffering. nothing taboo or romantic about it. what did/does help me is to not be silent about it. and to know that i'm not alone in my suffering. many others suffer as well. nothing unique in my own illness. only that i had stayed silent for far too long. and if you or anyone you know and love suffers from any form of mental illness there is no shame at all to get all the help needed.

really, no shame at all.

end of sermon.
