A brief history with condition

"I have been on many sides of depression. I struggled with severe and chronic episodes of depression for a number of years in the early 1990s. In response to this profound experience, I came to focus my research on the study of depression, receiving a PhD in Psychology in 2003, and joining the faculty at the University of South Florida. Most recently, I have continued to be an advocate for people who struggle with depression.
