About the Author:
My name is Elaine Hoole Quinn. I am an author, educator, coach and friend.
30 years ago I was serving in the community and volunteering at church while mothering my young children when at the age of twenty-nine I became extremely sick and was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). For the past 30 years I have worked tirelessly to understand these illnesses. Over the years I have studied, prayed, explored and tried many different approaches to managing my illnesses and finding wellness. This includes being hospitalized in psychiatric wards, having Electroconvulsive Therapy(ECT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS.) Through appropriate medication, creative coping strategies and the guidance from the Spirit of God, I found my path to wellness and live a joyful and productive life.
With a deep desire to help others I began writing articles for my website in 2018. I then authored a book entitled; “It’s Time, Living a Full and Joyful Life with Depression and Anxiety.” In it I tell 27 personal stories of suffering, overcoming and living joyfully with depression and anxiety. I also share in it the many tools I use to find healing and cultivate wellness.
When I am not writing or doing laundry I enjoy traveling with my husband and being an “on-call” grammy who loves playing card games with her grandchildren. I also enjoy crocheting baby blankets, playing tennis, teaching Sunday school, and painting with water colors.
I was born in 1962 and graduated from Brigham Young University in 1985. My husband, Mark, and I have 5 children and fifteen grandchildren. I have lived in the Chicago area for the past 37 years and love exploring this great city.
