You know, we have no problem talking about physical health issues. Someone asks how you’re doing and you say OK except my back is hurting today or I’m getting my knee replaced next week.
But when we have an emotional or mental health issue it’s difficult to admit and that can make it difficult to get help for.
Especially when you’re an entrepreneur.
It’s no secret that depression can be a problem for entrepreneurs and publications including the Guardian, Forbes, Inc, entrepreneur, fortune, and business insider have written about it. I’ll include links in the show notes to some of those articles.
So when I saw my friend and colleague Shanna Landoldt come clean about dealing with depression on FB I was floored.
I was impressed by her courage but also blown away because I never suspected she wrestled with the same issue I’ve wrestled with my entire life.
