[@MrDaRiAn21]

Before Tyler Perry, if anybody knows growing up going to church, Tamela Mann was with Kirk Franklin & The Family along with David. Now look at them. I listen to the Kirk Franklin CDs in the 90s and Tamelas vocals stand out. I commend David for acknowledging his depression. And he’s right, there is a stigma in the black community about therapy. I grew up in a house like that, and had to break the cycle. Good for him

I won over depression with faith and therapy. It happens to more and more people. Life gets tough.

[@gmarie598]

Depression is so hard to deal with, its so tiring, it's like carrying a bag of bricks with you everywhere you go! It makes you think negatively, it makes it hard to do everything! even something as simple as washing dishes or going outside. Depression manifests when there's a core issue not being addressed, that's why therapy is so helpful so you can work out why you feel the way you do and then take action to remedy it!

[@blessingsabove2716]

[@praises2]

Oh my, I felt this.... perfectly stated!!

[@Friday779]

Perfectly said I felt the same way! I’m going to counseling not taking meds; but continuing Praising God and learning more about faith and Job helps me a lot now.

[@londonpullian7948]

“ depression manifest when there was a core issue not being addressed” 💯 the real estate statement I’ve ever heard of my life…. But when the person that’s making you depressed won’t even allow you to speak about it to even hear you out so that you can move forward and leave the depression where it is then it sticks! Why don’t people understand that sometimes all they have to do is listen that can help a person have a breakthrough and heal! I can’t wait till the day I can finally have peace and happiness and no longer be depressed I don’t even know what it feels like anymore to live without depression!! my baby‘s father has been so verbally abusive to me the past few years ever since we’ve had a child together but prior to that for so many years he was loving caring and a protector the child with me was what he wanted since then he’s done nothing but tear me down in every way possible I haven’t heard a kind word in years and I’m so broken behind it

David just confirmed what I always said "Don't let the glad impression give you the wrong impression "🤷🏽‍♀️ What I meant by that just because you see a person always smiling & laughing doesn't mean they are always happy. They hide behind their pain

[@gillianmichele1728]

I seriously know this feeling. I'm naturally a witty, bubbly person, but sometimes you're hiding a lot underneath. I've had depression for years and at times it felt as though I was constantly drowning. It was intermittent. I had good days and then suddenly slump into a deep, dark place. I'm a Gospel Singer, so often times singing is what got me through along side the grace of God. People definitely need to talk more openly about it, so that people know they're not alone. I pray for all those struggling with depression. Only you know how it feels when you go through it. I love David and Tamela as a couple. They're so relatable and likeable.

[@theoracle56]

We as a Black community need to have honest conversations about mental health. A lot of the bad choices we make are because of internalized issues we don’t feel we have the bandwidth to tackle. We overeat, we drink, sometimes we do illicit drugs or get involved in counterproductive relationships because we don’t want to face the internal issues in ourselves. I’m here to tell you IT IS OKAY. We don’t have to keep it all on and put on the brave face and just March March on. Thank you David for sharing your story.

Agreed. I use to say it was a mind thing. As one who is pregnant and suffering from it, I can say it’s a brain thing, I’ve been procrastinating about getting up to get a job since I quit my job when I found out I was expecting(job was too hard on my body). I want to do music, I’m 26 and I wanted another baby but it just feels like I’m running out of time, I thought I would be a big star by now and it messes my head up BAD. I expect too much from people who don’t really have my best interest and that’s also 1 of my biggest issues.

I'm 61, been dealing with it since I was very young. Mental Health is a big issue but the bigger issue is our insurance doesn't cover most of it.i was a fixer and a person that wanted people to be happy. I was a nurse, worked 2 full time jobs, had a nervous breakdown then a bad divorce then brain surgery and stroke. So I can't work now. I look to God to help me through. But sometimes I need that extra help.

I applaud David Mann for being courageous enough to speak his truth. Tamela Mann is an amazing woman for sticking by him and wholeheartedly supporting him. They are an excellent example of what supporting your partner should look like. Mental health issues are REAL. If you aren’t strong enough SOME church people will inadvertently cause you to abort God’s true plan for your life and exit this world by your own hands. I experienced that after the death of my youngest son. I was emotionally overwhelmed and didn’t seek the counseling that I needed because I was encouraged to “pray and give it to God. I held on to needing to be here for my oldest son and pulled through it, depression seriously almost took me out of here.

Ty for sharing! I thank GOd for therapy. I’m a fixer too but I was fixing ppl in a broken place. It was insanity for me to be so many things to everyone else and nothing to myself. The body of Christ needs to share more. We are not perfect and we can help ppl on our way to perfection if we share our journey. ❤️🕊

I appreciate him for telling his story. I'm currently going through this right now. Unfortunately the help isn't available without a price tag and the people who you think would be there all of a sudden becomes to busy to listen. Plus I'm a man so we aren't "suppose" to be down or in a rough spot we're just told man up and shake it off. I pray and pray and pray but I just can't seem to move my feet. I really hope I shake back and become me again especially for my kids. Also I want to let any else going through this to remain strong because this to shall pass

Glad he shared his story. MANY men also deal with depression, all ethnicities. But there really is a stigma regarding Black folks

Thank you Tamron, for allowing room to have spiritual people speak in faith and truth. Praying for them and all who suffer that, including me!

She forgot to say the other daughter name. Lbs I understand just how he felt especially the drowning part. I rebuke the spirit of depression for all of those dealing with it! GOD bless David nd Tamala nd I'm so happy he's getting the help he needs. 🙏🏼 ❤️

He put the words of depression perfectly. The head of the family can show weakness. I adore Mr. Mann for sharing his story.

So glad he is sharing his truth! It's really hard to speak about that. He will bless so many people with this.
