For the last couple of years, best-selling author David Gemmell, has been writing a book on depression.
Initially he was not aware of the sheer enormity of the problem the disease presents to society and the dreadful consequences of it when left untreated. Astonishingly, 700,000+ people commit suicide every year, and according to statistics it is increasing exponentially as unemployment, inflation and astronomic crime levels degenerate communities.
Through his research he has uncovered some fascinating facts of what he calls The Silent Pandemic (Daily Maverick, 9 August 2024).
This is a topic that should not be allowed to remain hidden. Consider booking David today to talk to your teams. In his hour-long presentation entitled There are no depressed people on a sinking life raft David covers:
- Causes
- Candidates for depression
- David’s personal experience
- Stories of people with depression
- Suicides – famous people
- Facts about depression
- Cures
- Living and dealing with depression
- Diet
- Purpose
- Hope
He has spoken to, among others, the counsellors at SADAG (South African Depression and Anxiety Group), IT company ACCENTURE, and the Mars Goldshtein Foundation, and in every case has been well received for the simplicity and power of his personal message.
