National Suicide Prevention Month: Talking About My Depression & How I Find Gratitude by Brian King

Mental Health
5 years ago

In this video, I lift the veil on my reputation as a positivity powerhouse and describe how my optimism exists alongside a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety. Plagued by frequent suicidal ideation, I still find my way back to happiness and gratitude through a single mindset shift I share with you here.

I hope this helps destigmatize mental conditions like depression and anxiety, and further helps to demonstrate they need not be experienced as chains that hold you back, but more like stones on a walkway that can lead you back to reasons to celebrate the life you have the privilege of living.
