Abraham Lincolns Depression with TK of For The Love of History

Tehya Nakamura (TK) is the host and creator of the For the Love of History podcast. She returns to The Broken Brain to help break down the information about Abraham Lincoln's experiences with depression, or Melancholy as it was called at the time. It is an interesting look at one of the United States' favorite Presidents, old-timey attitudes about mental health, gender issues in treatment, and little blue pills that were super poisonous.   Go to www.patreon.com/brokenbrain to sign up for bonus materials, including the video of this interview and a special mini episode about "The Suicide's Soliloquy," an anonymous poem about suicidality that may have been written by Lincoln himself.
