Dear John,
In November's Narrative Matters essay, Nora Super calls for better
treatment for people living with depression.
My Struggle With Recurring Depression
[link removed]
In her November 2021 Narrative Matters essay, Nora Super, senior
director of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging and
executive director of the Milken Institute Alliance to Improve Dementia
Care, shares her story ofliving with major depression
and calls for better treatments.
Super describes her onset of depression and the multiple treatments she
tried before finding success with electroconvulsive therapy. She also
discusses why she decided to share her story after the deaths of Kate
Spade and Anthony Bourdain in 2018.
"I've observed that many high-achieving people experience bouts of
major depression, but we generally hide it from others...When we can no
longer perform at such intense levels, depression convinces us that we
are failures and worthless," she writes. "In disclosing my illness
to others, I've discovered that most people I know have been touched
by mental illness in some way."
To do more for people living with depression, Super argues that we need
to reduce stigma, make care more accessible and equitable, better
support alternative treatment options, and explore social prescribing.
Listen to recent authors read their Narrative Matters essays on the
Narrative Matters podcast
.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Lucia Savage and Lisa Simpson discuss how
the proposed Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health
,
or ARPA-H, aims to address long-standing challenges within the health
research ecosystem.
