what? how is that not something wrong?? yes there is absolutely something wrong with you if you are not feeling joy motivation or reward....yes. having depression means there IS something wrong with you. THATS WHY YOU HAVE DEPRESSION.

I think it comes from the daily routine as adults. It's dreadful, and nobody speaks about it.

Ring surrounded by people like you is what gives people depression other than that I’m sure people wouldn’t have DEPRESSION 😂🖕🏻

Dr. Nader is the real thing .

I can't walk properly in crowds

On public transport I worried that I didn't look right or I was looking at them. I also had people complain that I didn't look at them

I seem to be one of the few people that question why we're supposed to enjoy life in the first place.

Your voice is sooooooooo relaxing

It is a chemical imbalance. Maybe a few people have it solely because of negative thoughts but it is real, biological and it's a horrible disorder.

It’s my ocd to comment every vid I scrolled

Your videos are invaluable! They have helped me navigate a bout of health anxiety and a setback. Thank you so much for what you do.

When I started to overcome my health anxiety, my fears shifted from having a medical urgency to looking like a fool in front of others because of my anxiety.

Most doctors won't consider at first that you have health anxiety. I mean If I go to a doctor and tell him I feel dizzy, the doctor will follow the protocol. This is the part where many people with health anxiety get scared, but that's how regular medicine works.

I have taken control on anxiety but depression is there. But i am on recovery stage. My some days are better others are not. Now i will follow your advice in this video. I have a year with it. Can you tell me is this recovery when you are good one or 2 days and then get a setback? Hope you will answer it.

And sometimes even the “professional” sites have the wrong or contradictory information. Every body is different so really the best thing is to experiment on yourself and see what actually helps you feel best 🤷‍♀️

Im having a health anxiety relapse these past two weeks, so this is perfect timing. Thank you so so much doctor!

I learnt not to search on Internet when anxious. I put a note in my planner and review it a few days or weeks later depending on health issue. If it’s still applicable then, I’ll do a quick research (I limit it to less that 20min) and if needed, look for a treatment or call my doctor.

Thank you, How to get rid of Fobia of any medical procedures?

I have wrestled with obsessive compulsive behaviours ever since puberty. One of them was not wanting my feet to become unclean after a shower on the way to bed. It required me to place a towel in front of me to step on, and then a second towel to place in front of the first towel to take my next step. From age 12 I needed to devote a half hour to get from the shower up the passage to my bed. I don’t know why. No SA, no obvious childhood issues other than my father getting drunk twice a week which was distressing. Panic attacks have punctuated my middle-age but I can say without doubt that adequate sleep mitigates all of the issues I’ve just described.

Hearing the doctor’s description of an impending manic episode initially made me want one. I’m so tired of months-long episodes of depression that have no catalyst and abate for no obvious reason that I can fathom, let alone utilise. The inability to sleep that appears to accompany mania made me rethink my position. Insomnia is the gateway to mental anguish. I would not wish that on myself or anyone else.

What about avoidance of uncertainty in the long term? It is harder to collect data there, right? e.g. career decision

I love your style for explaning these concepts 💯

I was officially diagnosed with OCD today. This is very bittersweet. It has been a long 29 years.

Dear Doc: Thanks for the quality of these videos. They have really helped me put things in perspective. I feel that I am finally digging myself out of a very deep hole.

you got me through a lot , thank you

Getting a good night's sleep and healthier eating choices

I understand it

Excellent video, Thank you 😊

You have no idea go away

I wish it was just that

This might explain why antidepressants don’t work for me.

Is this not the same thing as apathy really? I really miss my sex drive.

Can you give us real life situations and personal stories of people who have used frequency or prolonged therapeutic exposure therapy?

Thank you, Doc. :)

Very helpful, thank you!

You have the most grating and condescending voice I've ever heard. Get off CZcams, go be normal.

Thank you! 🙏

Radical acceptance

I literally dont enjoy anything, i cant figure out my life because i dont have feelings towards anything, i feel like my life has been put on hold, like im just rotting away, i dont know what to do anymore, i cant even converse with people anymore, i never know how to respond, i have no thoughts going through my mind

If theres no water in the well, no amou nt if pumping is going to help. I think it depends on why the person is depressed or hopeless.

Wow you just described me exactly. How do you break through the quicksand and get the control back ???

I realize Dr. Nader that you focus on CBT, which is a different model than somatic experiencing or "psycho-physiological" approaches etc. But in health anxiety, I see a lot of overlap of CBT with "mind-body" (or "unlearning") models. For me health anxiety fuels ongoing mind-body syndrome issues, where my anxious brain keeps creating physical sensations even though there is nothing medically wrong, and the anxiety and hypervigilance over the symptoms just keeps the whole cycle going. CBT helps me cope and/or recognize behaviors that do not help. MBS approaches help me address the underlying stress and emotions that is driving the "symptoms" in the first place.

Have you even ever felt sigma to sigma🤫🧏🏻‍♂️?

So helpful. I struggle with health anxiety and realize I have often confused HA as a Type 1 worry. But when coming to "problem solve", the worry over having this or that health problem...the problem itself doesnt exist :) I suppose the one Type 1 worry with HA is the actual worry about having HA and how it negatively impacts my life. And in that case there are reframing and problem solving that could be done (especially now I am more resourced with information from your channel)

Im still having difficulty recovering from depression, anxiety... my foolish mistake of retiring is so overwhelming. I cannot go back.... " You don't know what you have till it's gone " days off, or vacations we're great. But, permanent totally changed my life. I need that structure, purpose, identity, social interactions, friends, etc... im just so unhappy with terrible regret. Im alone now , i didn't plan this right.

Great information, thank you. It seems to me that HA has another secret weapon: when we worry or catastrophize about physical symptoms for a while (days/weeks/months) and then, predictably, we eventually stop worrying about that particular symptom (the symptom goes away or we just eventually get over the worry), our monkey brains interpret it to mean the worrying itself played a useful role, so its reinforced. This is one of the beliefs I am also challenging, and its based on the 100% true knowledge that with all my past HA "scares", none of them turned out to be anything significant, and in retrospect can see that worrying about it made zero difference, and actually made things worse at the time as well as making me more likely to fall into the trap "next time".

Do u have any instagram account?coz i want to follow u.
