Bio
Dr. Donald G. "Skip" Mondragon has practiced Internal Medicine, adult medicine, for over thirty years. He is a twenty-six year Army veteran, retired Colonel, and National Veterans Wrestling Champion. He became a casualty of depression during his last year on active duty.
An epiphany led him to change his longstanding prayers from, "Lord, please, please deliver me from this darkness?", to "Lord, what would you have me learn from this (depression)? How can I use it to help others?"
This became the genesis to share his story to decrease the stigma of mental illness, encourage men who are struggling with mental health issues, especially those with depression, to seek help, and to give them practical tips, tactics, and techniques to help them recover.
He now advocates for men with mental illness, speaking and writing. He is the author of Wrestling Depression Is Not For Wimps! Check it out at www.amazon.com/author/skipmondragon. You can find him on his website www.wrestlingisnotforwimps.com and on Facebook and Twitter at @SkipWNW
