About this audiobook
Kevin Breel burst into the public's awareness when at nineteen his TED talk became a worldwide phenomenon. Through the lens of his own near suicide, he shared his profoundly vulnerable story of being young, male, and depressed in a culture that has no place for that. Boy Meets Depression is a book that explores what it means to struggle and tells an honest, heartfelt story about how a meaningful life isn't found in perfection; it's found in our ability to heal and accept the dark parts of ourselves.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Boy meets depression, or life sucks and ten you live. I’ve suffered with episodes of major depression most of my life. This book describes what its like live with it. This is not a clinical look at the disease. It is personal memoir of one boy and his 17 year journey to find a reason to live and beat back the fog that was his depression. I would give this book to any parent with child who is suffering with this disease of the mind or anyone who is involved with depressed person. Kevin is marvelously, insightful and descriptive in relating his experiences in a manner that anyone can grasp. Kevin speaks with clear voice for the depressed. The book deemphasizes the role of medication in his recovery. It is brutally honest with Kevin's struggles with the idea of going to counsellor and later his impressions and insights he gained from counseling
