With employers increasingly seeking to bring wellness to the workplace -- and with seemingly easy solutions being offered through "happiness" programs and the like -- its no wonder that some employers might wonder: What does a well-run wellness program look like?...
As we continue to recognize Mental Health Month, we noted a piece in HR Drive that includes the line: "The mental health crisis is a 'real thing employers are facing,' noted Dr. Steven Serra, senior medical director at Aetna." The piece continues: "The problem: mental...

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what my depression sounds like.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to interview my depression.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Forget everything you’ve heard about depression. In this OC87 Recovery Diaries video, I actually sit down to interview my depression. We don’t get into a list of depression symptoms, depression tests, or get deep into a discussion about mental illness. Instead, my depression shares its raw emotion, thoughts, and feelings.
Have you ever wondered what depression quotes you would get if you heard from your depression? I’ll give you a hint: “I just live in pain,” and “I’m here to protect you.” Have you wondered things like:
What does my depression want?
Is there a purpose to depression?
Is my depression really at war with me?
When will my depression go away?
Mental health is no laughing matter. And while this video is a creative way to bring depression into the conversation, it’s also a very real picture of what my depression is saying to me.
If you struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will make you think about it in a different way. That maybe it will get you thinking about what your depression would say if you interviewed it and how that impacts the way you handle it and think about it.
If you don’t struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will give you a real look into what it’s like living with this mental health challenge.
In short, this video will show you what a struggle with depression looks like on a daily basis.
