Depression can be a crippling mental health condition that is mysterious, stigmatized and often dealt with in silence. Monday on Vermont Edition, we talk about the experience of depression from a first-hand perspective, and learn how treatment can make a difference.  Our guests are psychiatrist Dr. Terry Rabinowitz of the UVM College of Medicine, andDavid Blistein, author of David's Inferno: My Journey Through the Dark Woods of Depression.
