abraham lincoln: And talking about it gives others permission to talk about mental health as well, according to Toronto Star. By Jim Coyle News Tues., Sept. 13, 2016 As a politician who knows depression first-hand, Celina Caesar-Chavannes joins a long list of famous forebears that includes such figures as Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill.
