Male Celebrities and Depression

I think it is fabulous when men come out and talk about depression, and how getting treatment has helped them. I met Terry Bradshaw not too long ago, he was fantastic and it was amazing to hear how much he struggled even during the football seasons. He perservered and is now working hard to help other men deal.

CNN today featured Zack Greinke's about his depression and anxiety disorder - and opennness that has helped other ballplayers work through similar issues in a positive way (as opposed to turning to drugs, alcohol, women as forms of escape).
