Depression has taught me so much

Depression is not a sign of weakness, it is an illness that can be treated and managed.

About Karen Synnott

My passions include attempting to reduce stigma around mental health issues. I do this by writing and speaking about my own personal story and experience living with a chronic mental illness. My aim is to give a message of hope and support to the many others who also experience and/or know someone with similar issues. I also hope that, by hearing my story, there may be those out there who are encouraged to seek help so that they too may manage or recover from this illness. I have started writing a blog which can be found at www.writestrong.blogspot.com.au and I enjoy public speaking on this topic.
