Battling depression: The story of two Waterford men's brave fight 

450,000 Irish people suffer from the so-called ‘invisible illness’ of depression. Journalism graduate, Rebecca Maher, spoke to two Waterford men who decided to put pen to paper and document their own personal struggles of depression in the hope of inspiring others who may be affected by mental illness.

‘From The Bru to The Borough’ is the true story of Dungarvan native Dan O’Riordan’s battle with his mental health over the past three decades.

Dan, originally from Cathal Brugha Place, delved into his past to tell his story of what life was like growing up in Dungarvan in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
