Big Bold Step Helps Broadway Fan Overcome Fears
I interviewed a young woman named Jessica who talks about the Tony-award winning Broadway musical, Next to Normal, and its impact on her. Next to Normal follows the trials of a suburban mom battling bipolar disorder. Jessica who has depression, describes her other diagnoses that include panic attacks, anxiety, and nonverbal learning disorder. She tells us the big, bold step she took to overcome her fears. She also has some encouraging words for anyone with depression and discusses her parents' role in her recovery process.
Food for Thought--Ideas for Comments:
- Were you encouraged by Jessica's story?
- Can you relate to any of Jessica's obstacles?
- Have you seen Next to Normal?
- Any thoughts on parents' role in helping children with depression?

More informative and easier to understand than reading medical texts.
Also, I thought that now, in 2011, that the social stigma of going to a psychiatrist would have lessened, but I guess I'm wrong. So it means that there are still a lot of people who still have not received proper treatment due to fear of this stigma.
I think this podcast is really good and I hope that a lot of young and old people could find this link. I hope that this program will become popular in the future to help those who suffer silently.
I really don't understand much about any disorders or stuff like that, but I appreciate this podcast since helps me understand how those with disorders feel in a way more personal than books or college classes.
