188. Skip Mondragon: Wrestling Depression is Not for Wimps

In this episode, we're joined by Skip Mondragon. Donald G. “Skip” Mondragon, MD has practiced Internal Medicine, adult medicine, for over thirty years. Colonel Mondragon is a twenty-six-year Army veteran, spent eighteen months in combat zones, and is a National Veterans Wrestling Champion. During his last year in the Army, Skip became a casualty of depression. As he recovered, he became a transformed tough guy. This led to his calling to help men struggling with this dark disease by speaking and writing. His book Wrestling Depression Is Not for Wimps! was published in February 2020.

Skip’s true claim to fame are his five independent and gainfully employed children, his four amazing grandchildren, and especially his wife Sherry. She’s a fellow author. She’s also a tough Army wife who endured raising teenagers on her own, a variety of moves to new duty stations, and far too many of his idiosyncrasies for forty years of marriage.

In this episode, we explore:

  • depression
  • men’s mental health
  • mental health for tough guys
  • finding a battle buddy
  • F3 - family, friends and faith

and loads more.

Mentioned in this episode

  • Norman Doidge - The Brain that Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
  • Bessel van der Kolk - The Body Keeps The Score
  • Caroline Leaf - Your Mental Mess
  • Skip’s book - Wrestling Depression is Not For Wimps
  • Skip’s TED Talk - Tough Guys are an Endangered Species
