Time is absolutely of the essence when it comes to things like depression, especially treatment-resistant depression, and there's so much we don't understand about the way that this works, and my hope is that this continues to improve, that window of time continues to decrease, because any, any minute we can buy someone who's going through this is a minute, a minute well-spent.
In this poignant episode of Writing on the Walls, host Rob Hlavaty sits down with Rafael and Rachel Rosado, founders of the Matias Rosado Foundation. Their son, Matias, tragically died by suicide at the age of 19, and his loss led them to create a foundation in his name. The Rosados share their deeply personal journey through the immediate aftermath of Matias' death, their experiences with treatment-resistant depression, and the misconceptions that often surround it.
The episode dives into the mission of the Matias Rosado Foundation, which focuses on support, education, and advocacy around suicide prevention. Rafael and Rachel candidly discuss the warning signs of depression and suicide, emphasizing the importance of providing robust support systems for those grappling with mental health issues. They also touch on the significant roles pharmaceutical and insurance companies play in mental healthcare and the urgent need for effective treatments for treatment-resistant depression.
This conversation is not just about the pain of loss but also about finding purpose and hope in the darkest times. The Rosados talk about creating safe spaces for transgender and gender non-binary individuals, reflecting their commitment to inclusivity and support for all. If you've ever been touched by suicide or are looking for ways to support those struggling with mental health, this episode offers both heartfelt stories and valuable insights.
