About Us
Bigger Than Depression is a platform for expanding how we understand mental health— not just as an individual experience, but as something shaped by context, systems, and story.
Personal Essays
First-person writing that explores depression, identity, and the realities of functioning in a high-pressure world. These essays move beyond simplified narratives, focusing instead on the contradictions, patterns, and lived nuances that often go unnamed in traditional mental health conversations.
Practical Resources
A curated set of frameworks, tools, and insights drawn from narrative therapy, behavioral health, and lived experience. These resources are designed to be usable in real life—within the constraints of work, caregiving, and everyday responsibility—not just in ideal conditions.
Stigma Reduction
Ongoing work to challenge reductive and often misleading narratives about depression. This includes expanding how mental health is discussed publicly, emphasizing context and complexity, and creating space for more honest, less stigmatized representations of lived experience.
