Description
For several years Gareth O’Callaghan, one of Ireland’s most
popular broadcasters, suffered from severe depression.
No one guessed that the minute he was off air, he would retreat
to his bed, sometimes with thoughts of suicide, barely able to
function as a husband and father of three small children.
In this candid and courageous account, he describes
the nightmare he and his family lived through for so long.
He looks back to the childhood, where he believes his low
self-esteem took root, and traces a pattern common to so
many depression sufferers.
As soon as he was diagnosed, Gareth began a determined
fight back to health. Now fully recovered, free of
antidepressants, more optimistic and fitter than ever, he has
emerged with a deep understanding of how the condition
takes hold – as well as how to loosen its grasp.
It has been an extraordinary journey – one which has given
him immense insight, practical knowledge, a deep mistrust
of conventional wisdom, and a mission to spread hope to all
those affected by it.
