Today I want to take a short look at some well known names who suffer from depression.
Abraham Lincoln (16th President)-Researchers say that Lincoln's depression comes from the loss of his mother at an early age, as well as several other childhood losses.
Buzz Aldrin (2nd man on the moon)-He faced several rough years after the moon landing, including the ending of a 21 year long marriage, a quick marriage and quick divorce, and several other factors led to his acute depression and alcoholism.
Harrison Ford (Actor: Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and many others)-He says that this partially comes from his holding in anger from when he was beat up as a younger child/teen.This is obviously just a small sampling of individuals who had/do suffer from depression. In each of these cases the individuals went on to do great things, not letting their depression hold them back.
No one is alone, be the light you want to see in the world
