I have some things to say about the death from depression of Alan Krueger--enough things that they required a few days to process, and now require a thread. (Please bear with me, I haven’t ever done a thread before.) [1/8]

    Alan was unfailingly and unnecessarily kind to me. He also made many of the things I love about economics possible. But others e.g. can speak better to these aspects of his life. What I can speak to is living with depression as an economist. [2/8]

    Economics is not a gentle profession, and I think that many economists are afraid to say they experience depression because it might be seen as weakness. So we say things like “Someone close to me” or “Many struggle with.” Prior to Alan’s death, that’s how I talked. [3/8]

    But I now see how otherizing it is. It says economists can care about suffering and still be successful, but they can’t suffer THEMSELVES—that would make them too weak to be good at what they do. And part of why I wasn’t “out” about my depression was I feared this was true.[4/8]

    Here’s the thing: if your theory has been that experiencing depression makes you not a good economist, then your theory fails to account for the empirical reality of Alan Krueger. Because he was, hands-down, the BEST at what we do. And we now know he experienced depression. [5/8]

    I wish I had known that before. It would have made me feel less alone, and less afraid. And depression makes you feel both those things anyway, so our profession keeping secret about it only makes it worse. I am just really, really sad that the way I found out was this way.[6/8]

    As much as I wish there was, there isn’t anything to do to help Alan now. But as my thanks to him for all he made possible in my life, I am going to stop keeping this secret now. Because maybe I can help other people feel less alone, the way I wish we could have helped him. [7/8]

      Thanks for sharing, Liz .. Because depression is not easily observable to others, it often goes unnoticed and is far less understood. Only with more of us talking about it will mental health (eventually) become as socially acceptable as any other chronic condition. Take care.

      Thanks for being so brave. Issues of mental health need to be talked about and to see the light. Have you seen a news story that documents Alan Krueger’s medical / mental health condition?
