I have battled major depression since age thirteen. It may be even further back than that, that is my first memory of “feeling different”. I am now middle-aged.

I had not a clue at the time I was suffering from any type of mental illness, and even if I had discovered it was, it would have been hidden, as, in the polite society of rural Mississippi, at the time, one did not see a therapist or psychiatrist and remain in society.
