A New Orleans reporter talks about his post-Katrina depression . . .

. . . and how anti-depressants saved his life:

Before Katrina, I would have called somebody like me a wuss. Not to my face. But it’s what I would have thought, this talk of mood swings and loss of control, all this psychobabble and hope-dope.

What a load of crap. Get a grip, I would have said.

And that’s exactly what I did, through a door that was hidden from me, but that I was finally able to see.

I have a disease. Medicine saved me. I am living proof.
Emphasis on living.
