From Milliamps to 14,400 Volts

May 31, 2022/ Gordon Corsetti
From Milliamps to 14,400 Volts

I cannot help but be amused that a year-and-a-half ago a few hundred milliamps were directed through my brain and now I’m physically handling that same force to energize businesses and homes.

Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Foundation

Life on the 7th Shelf is my way of sharing how a person can live well with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

The 7th Shelf was written by Dante in The Inferno, as the Wood of the Suicides.

For me, living on the 7th shelf is challenging but I have found my means for winning the daily battle against the worst my mind can throw at me.
