Living with Chronic, Treatment-Resistant Depression

We all suffer the blues or depression from time to time, but the mental disorder of clinical depression is long-lasting, deep, and
life-disrupting. Now 55, guest speaker Eric McKee was hit
three decades ago with a form of depression resistant to medication, talk therapy, and even
electroconvulsive therapy. Nevertheless, Eric
is a fighter. He completed his bachelor’s degree (albeit in eight
years), has held several jobs, and is happily married. Though his
depression is a central problem in his life, he is determined to make
the best of things. He joined the NAMI Ohio Board of Directors in 2007 and in 2017 became the Executive Director of NAMI Hamilton County in
Findley, Ohio. He gives many lectures and feels that “… if it gets to
one person…it makes everything worth it.”Co-Sponsored by the National Alliance for Mental Illness and the Friends of the Athens Public Library.
