The Grand Rapids Press personalizes depression with Rockford district court judge Steven Servaas’s story of struggle and survival.

Tom Rademacher and Ken Kolker write (excerpt):
He also hoped people would come to understand “the difference between a physical disease and a mental disease is just what part of your body breaks down.

“If you break your arm, everyone understands. But if you break a minute part of your brain … people treat it as a much more scary thing, and tend to shy away from it.”
