On the show, Montel shared how for the past 17 years he has been hiding behind his true feelings of pain and depression in order to continue doing his show. Now he is ready to let that go. To stop hiding behind the smile that we see when he walks out in front of the cameras to face the television audience and millions of viewers.

In his book, Living Well Emotionally, he tells of all the things he has found to help him cope with the extreme highs and severe lows of depression. From meditation to the Happiness Diet, he's learned what helps to bring happiness back into his life and he shares them with us.

As someone dealing with multiple sclerosis, you are at greater risk of having depression. Whether it's directly related to your MS or a side effect of medications that treat your MS, depression is depression. No matter how you look at it or where it comes from, it's not something you have to live with.

What is okay, is that you call in professional help. When you're dealing with a severe case of depression, you need help. It's when you don't do anything, that things can get pretty bad, even to the point of wanting to end it all, which is something Montel also shared with viewers.

Read Montel's new book, Living Well Emotionally. Find out what you can do to begin to feel happiness again. If you already are happy, that's great. You can read it for the inspiration and for those times when depression or other emotional issues may become something you can't deal with alone.
