26: DEPRESSION & ANXIETY with Dan Beecher

And lately, with global uncertainty and a pandemic that continues to wreak havoc on our species they seem to be on the rise. So is doing something as simple as talking about them going to have any significant effect on their presence in our lives? ... Couldn't hurt. Actor and podcaster Dan Beecher zoomed in to the blanket fort from Utah to talk about his experience with these two conditions and to hopefully share some light and hope along the way.
