Bob Kravitz will be the first to tell you he has the dream job of any sports fan….he has been a newspaper sports columnist most of his career, and now writes for WTHR’s Web site and appears on the TV station’s newscasts, talking about sports.  He will also tell you he is blessed with a wonderful wife and two outstanding daughters.  To look at him, you would think Bob Kravitz has the idyllic suburban life.

However, earlier this year, Bob Kravitz went public in a sports commentary about his struggles with depression and panic attacks.  The man with the seemingly perfect life had a hidden mental health issue no one would have imagined.

Mr. Kravitz was able to get treatment and is doing well now.  He will tell his story of overcoming his medical challenges in an event coming up Wednesday, September 5th, at the HSE High School Little Theater, starting at 6:00pm.  He and HSE Schools Superintendent Allen Bourff will talk about the importance of mental health and how Bob overcame his dark moments and recovered.

You can hear more about his story in a podcast conversation I had with Bob Kravitz at this link.
