Doug Duncan Spoke at Leisure World about Depression

Doug Duncan, former 3-term MoCo Executive, spoke to a packed house of hundreds at Leisure World today.

He described, candidly and courageously, how he came to realize he was suffering from depression in 2006 and how he left the race for Governor and obtained treatment for his disease.

His message was that depression can affect anyone and anyone who is affected by it should seek treatment rather than continue to suffer, or take worse action. Medicine and other treatments are effective, as proven by how Doug Duncan is now enjoying his life.

Duncan answered many questions and didn't avoid talking about any aspect of his disease. He even answer questions about his future political plans (none at the moment) and his opinion of Donald Trump (you can guess what that was).

It is likely that Doug Duncan's talk today, and his previous openness about his disease, helped many people who are suffering to seek treatment and a better life. That is probably one of the greatest achievements of Doug Duncan's career.
