State Representative Sara Buxton opens up about her depression

The death of well-respected law professor and media analyst Cheryl Hanna has continued to reverberate in the many communities she touched.

Her husband, Paul Henninge, has been speaking out about his wife’s struggle with depression, expressing his desire for more openness about the often debilitating condition and for more people to come forward and bring the topic out of the shadows.

State Representative Sarah Buxton was close to Hanna.  Wednesday, Buxton posted a note on her Facebook page, disclosing that she, too, has experience with depression.  She spoke to Vermont Edition about her experience with depression and her decision to go public with it.
