Bigger Than Depression
We tell stories that heal, transform, and remind us we’re more than our darkest moments.
Meet the Founder

Elsie Ramsey is a writer, speaker, and advocate who believes in the power of storytelling to heal. She founded Bigger Than Depression to challenge the stigma around mental health and share the stories we’re often too afraid to tell.
A former model, political researcher, and nonprofit leader, Elsie’s path has been anything but linear—much like healing itself. She calls New York City home, loves a good book, strong chai, and long runs that clear her mind.
