He will also tell you he is blessed with a wonderful wife and two outstanding daughters. To look at him, you would think Bob Kravitz has the idyllic suburban life.
However, earlier this year, Kravitz went public in a sports commentary about his struggles with depression and panic attacks. The man with the seemingly perfect life had a hidden mental health issue no one would have imagined.
Kravitz was able to get treatment and is doing well now. He will tell his story of overcoming his medical challenges in an event at 6 p.m. this evening at the Little Theater at Hamilton Southeastern High School.
Kravitz and HSE Schools Superintendent Allen Bourff will talk about the importance of mental health and how Kravitz overcame his dark moments and recovered.
