Bigger Than Depression
mental health stories to heal, transform, and remind us we’re more.
the Story Behind the mission
Bigger Than Depression was born from a simple truth: sharing our stories can save lives. Elsie Ramsey, a writer, speaker, and advocate, challenges the stigma around mental health through community building and transparency.
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.
