Michael Landsberg Gives Up the Highs to Escape the Lows

Michael Landsberg Gives Up the Highs to Escape the Lows

A good day for Michael Landsberg goes up to about a seven but not really any higher than that. His mood doesn’t raise up to an eight, nine, or ten due to the medication he takes for his longstanding major depressive disorder. But Michael’s low days don’t go below a four thanks to the same medication. It’s a bargain that Landsberg is comfortable with. We also discuss Landsberg’s discovery of his own depression and anxiety, how he’s treated it, and whether the fight against stigma is going well.

Learn more about #SickNotWeak, the charity founded by Michael and his daughter by visiting www.SickNotWeak.com.
