On this week’s episode of The Civilist, Andrew Solomon talks with host Steven Petrow about the perils and importance of coming out about depression, and how to be supportive when a loved one discloses their struggle. Before Andrew’s interview, Kim Severson of the New York Times and Shereen Marisol Meraji of National Public Radio offer advice on a tough case of sibling rivalry, and how to handle praiseworthy but overly loquacious neighbors. (Andrew comes on at 15:10.)
