My Depression, featuring the voices of Sigourney Weaver, Steve Buscemi & Fred Armisen, is a critically-acclaimed half-hour film that debuted on HBO in 2015.  The film tells Elizabeth Swados’ personal story of her lifelong struggle with depression.  Elizabeth — a successful Broadway composer, writer and director — uses her talents of music and storytelling to share her story and help others who may be struggling with emotional health conditions like depression.

“(A) half-hour gem. As charming and whimsical a discussion of depression as you’re likely to find. It’s honest and forthright as it talks about a condition often misunderstood and misrepresented.”
– New York Times
