Autor

Evelyn S. Rodas is an author with a mission to raise awareness about the need to break with old paradigms about major depressive disorder, anxiety, and mental illness and explore other concepts more in tune with their real meaning.Through almost three decades of fighting unipolar depression, Evelyn has gained one-of-a-kind subjective experiences and crucial knowledge on the disease, which provides her with vital elements to describe clinical depression in an authentic and unique way. By doing so, she intends to bring hope to anyone struggling with this disease and feels no solution exists. She wants you to know that she once felt like that but came out triumphant in the end.Evelyn S. Rodas points out that if she had known the vast information she now possesses about depression and anxiety, much of her suffering could have been avoided. For this reason, she aims to provide other patients with a shortcut to fully understand their condition's possible root causes so they will not have to struggle for years before they find effective solutions.
