Mood Disorders Series-Disabled Legend Dick Cavett

Dick Cavett - Richard Alva "Dick" Cavett was born 19 November, 1936 is an American television talk show host known for his conversational style and in-depth discussion of issues. Cavett has openly discussed his bouts with clinical depression in recent years, an illness he has had to deal with since his freshman year at Yale. He was the subject of a 1993 video produced by the Depression and Related Affective Disorders Association called A Patient's Perspective. Cavett underwent electroconvulsive therapy to treat his depression. In 1992, he was quoted in People: "In my case, ECT was miraculous. My wife was dubious, but when she came into my room afterward, I sat up and said, 'Look who's back among the living.' It was like a magic wand."
