Ep 278: Finding "Hope in the midst of Depression" - with Neil Kelders

Jan 23, 2023, 06:00 AM

Mick is joined by author and mental health advocate Neil Kelders.

Neil's new book is called The Other Side: A memoir of hope in the midst of depression and it charts his own mental health journey.

The podcast focuses on Neil's story, and how mental health problems lead to suicide ideation, and later, how Neil changed the way he viewed himself and the world around him to find a new way forward through different counselling methods and more.

The books is autobiographical, but also contains "Neil's Notes" which offer practical advice for dealing with issues like depression and anxiety.

This conversation includes expressions of thoughts about suicide, but does not discuss methodology.

You can find out more about Neil on Instagram where you can also find host Mick Coyle, who is also on Twitter.
