GEOFF | Doctors and depression: When the fixer needs fixing

For decades, Geoff thought he couldn't open up about his depression. After all, he was the doctor. And doctors are the fixers, not the ones who need fixing.
Recovery started with talking. And he wants other healthcare workers to do the same.
This story was filmed on Bunurong Country, and we pay respect to the traditional owners of these lands.
Directed and edited by Ned Donohoe.
About Beyond Blue
Established in October 2000, Beyond Blue initially focused on raising awareness of depression and reducing the associated stigma. As our knowledge and impact on people's lives broadened, through research and community engagement, we added the key issue of anxiety conditions in 2011 and, more recently, suicide prevention to our core purpose.
