Louw Breytenbach chats about depression, mental health, resilience and his new documentary

Clive Vanderwagen chats to performer, writer and entrepreneur Louw Breytenbach about his new documentary "The Louw-Down on Depression". We chat about his mental health and how he's built resilience skills into his life, especially in this time of Covid-19 madness. Louw speaks about the struggles he's had with depression, his sexuality, sexual abuse and a life-changing car accident that changed the way he viewed the world, and in response gives us valuable insight into building resilience and learning to cope in a world that seems overwhelming at times.

Interesting topic indeed. Many of us can learn and take a lot away from this. Thanks again Clive.

Met Jesus in jou kan jy van dit ontslae raak, ek het ook aan depresie gely my hele lewe van kinder jare,het baie keer probeer selfmoord pleeg maar dir het nie geslaag nie, tot dat ek tot bekering gekom het. Jesus het dit uit my gehaal dis nie n siekre nie(weet dat mense met my sal saam stem nie) dit kom van satan af, almal wil vandag n probleem n naam gee. Vind Jesus Christus in heel lewe en satan het nie n hou vas op jou nie,

Beste Gideon, ek hoor jou... Ek is egter 'n Christen en ek het 'n graad in teologie... Dit is ongelukkig nie so maklik soos om net te bekeer nie. Ek is herbore en groot gedoop. BAIE van die siektes is presies dit... Siektes. 'N gemiese wanbalans in die brein... Lees gerus op. Dis soos om vir iemand met kanker te sê om te bekeer... dit werk nie so nie. Ek nooi jou uit om my dokumentêr te kyk... www.howler.co.za/thelouwdown Dit sal jou verseker nuwe perspektief gee oor hierdie SIEKTES. Baie seen vir jou.
