Depression is the family secret that everyone has. Approximately 280 million people suffer from depression worldwide (WHO). There are few people who haven't been touched by it either directly or indirectly yet it is a conversation many are hesitant to have.

So, let's talk about it.

Three years ago, I invited writer and lecturer, Andrew Solomon to my Sessions community to have a conversation about depression.Watch part of our conversation as Andrew defines depression and we explore the complexities and challenges surrounding it as well as treatment and critical actions for parents and friends of someone who is depressed. For the full conversation, I invite you to join my Sessions community at https://sessions.estherperel.com
