Without a doubt, the death of Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams has touched millions of people. The topic of depression and, yes, suicide is on the public radar right now. These subjects weave a tapestry through the human experience, and it is true for the cleft/craniofacial community. In this special "CleftCast," host Joe Rutland talks about depression, anxiety, suicide and how they might affect children, teenagers, adults and parents within the cleft/craniofacial community.
It should be noted that the information on "CleftCast" does not equal that of reaching out to a professional counselor or therapist. If you find yourself needing help, then reach out.
