LONG BIO
I’m Terezia Farkas. International bestselling author, Huffington Post contributor, and columnist of Depression Help. I’m a mental health advocate.

In 2017, I was awarded the
Alberta Lieutenant Governor's Circle on Mental Health and Addiction certificate by the Honourable Lois Mitchell, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, for excellent work done to strengthen outcomes and the quality of life for people living with mental illness and addiction.

I was a Bell Let’s Talk Social Media Ambassador. 

I was invited to the 2014 Global Crisis of Depression Summit offered by The Economist at Kings Place in London. The event included notable speakers Kofi A Anan, the 7th former Secretary General of the UN, and Alastair Campbell, former press secretary for British Prime Minister Tony Blair. I’ve been featured in The Globe & Mail, The Express Tribune, and Outlook India, Minnesota Public Radio News, the Boston Globe, CBS, FOX, ABC, and KHQ. I created Action on Depression, a campaign raising funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. I also write the column Depression Help.

I served as the Alberta CDRIN (Canadian Depression Research and Innovation Network) Hub Lived Experience Leader. I brought together the Lived Experience community with mental health researchers, professionals, and community health organizations in meaningful partnerships. Several of my suggestions were implemented by Alberta's SPOR Patient Engagement Unit. I helped design a patient registry for the Health Board of Nova Scotia, Canada. 

I was nominated for the Canada 150 for 150 CAMH Difference Makers recognizing 150 inspiring Canadians for mental health for Canada's 150th birthday.

I believe the journey is more important than the destination. Live. Laugh. Love. You choose the order.
Don't judge others. You never know what luggage someone is carrying. A smile doesn’t always mean a happy person. It’s okay to feel scared and afraid of the future, but it’s also okay to ask for help. 
You’re not alone. Someone else is hopeless, struggling in the darkness. Hope is real. It exists for you. Just find it.
