Talk About Las Vegas With Ira

This week, Ira spoke with Reggie Burton (R. Avery Burton), author of “This is Depression.” In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas (due to coronavirus, students are returning to college or distance learning and many families are isolated at home), Burton talks about losing his son to depression and suicide, and the steps he’s taken to use the grief to help others; the statistics that show many college students facing depression; the triggers that bring on potential suicidal ideation; why people need to be preemptive in dealing with matters of mental health; and why he believes, “I’m saving lives.”
