Santa Cruz City Firefighter Nick Hanna, formerly with Ventura City Fire, talks about his mental health journey over the past year. Nick's story starts with being "true fireman", engaged with his department and association. Following a significant illness, he began to experience panic attacks, sleeplessness, PTSD, major depressive disorder, and active suicidal thoughts. After many dead ends trying to find treatment, an effective combination of therapies was identified and Nick is in a better place. Nick's story is relevant for all firefighters - and firefighter families - especially those who think mental health is not their concern. If you're in crisis, call or text the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline at 988, day or night.
