OnThe Verywell Mind Podcast, Amy Morin, LCSW, interviews experts, authors, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and other inspirational people about the strategies that help them think, feel, and do their best in life.

He’s now the host of a popular podcast calledThe Mental Illness Happy Hour.He interviews celebrities, experts, and everyday people about their trauma, mental illness, addiction, and negative thinking.

Beneath Paul’s humor was a darkness that he hid for many years. He struggled with depression and alcoholism.

He chose to get sober in 2003. And when he did, his depression treatment began to work.

He continues to talk about his depression and the steps he now takes to stay mentally healthy.

He launched his podcast as a way to help people feel less alone in their struggles. He says his podcast is like a psychiatrist’s “waiting room” where people can gather and learn from one another.

Sometimes, people have an image in their heads about what depression “looks like.” And Paul doesn’t fit that description.

But mental illnesses are often hidden. And just because someone doesn’t “look depressed” doesn’t mean they aren’t.

You never know what types of internal battles someone is facing. And Paul is proof that people often get really good at hiding their emotional struggles.
