A 17-year-old from Montgomery County has written a book looking at his struggles with depression in an effort to help others dealing with similar issues.
"I noticed a change in his behavior. A lot more sleeping, a lot more being in a room, being in the dark a lot," she told NBC10."I'm sorry because it's so emotional, but the letters... reading the book was hard. To realize how deep he really was. How how sad he was. How depressed he was. And, I didn't know."
But, Kemp has been through therapy and treatment and, he said, he's learning to rely on the support systems around him. "It's about learning about the things that you have, the support systems and the people who care for you," he said. And, he said, he hopes that, through publishing the book, he can help others who may be struggling with similar feelings.
"I think a lot of people feel that way. So, I wrote this book to show people that they're not alone," said Kemp.If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the National Suicide Prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255, or reach out to the Crisis Text Line by texting ‘Home’ to 741741, anytime.
