VIDEO: Conor Cusack speaks openly about his depression in Prime Time interview

The former Cork hurler wrote at length about his personal battle earlier this week.

FORMER CORK HURLER Conor Cusack spoke openly about his battle with depression and his recovery last night.

In an interview on RTÉ Prime Time, Cusack — brother of former Rebel keeper Donal Óg Cusack — spoke about a blog post he published on Monday.

In it he details his personal experiences of panic attacks and depression, his treatment, and his hope for the future.

“A new strength will emerge to help you to head into the choppy waters of your painful past,” he wrote.

Eventually you will discover a place of peace within yourself, a place that encourages you to head out into the world and live your life fully. The world will no longer be a frightening place to live in for you.
The most important thing is to take the first step. Please take it.
