  • Depression is a complex mental health condition that can impact every aspect of a person's life. Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe that depression is caused by a person giving up and not trying hard enough to feel better. This misconception can make it even harder for individuals struggling with depression to seek the help they need. In reality, the problem with depression is often that a person is trying too hard to feel better. Trying to accomplish goals or meet expectations when lacking the energy or motivation to do so can lead to failure, which in turn fuels depression. This vicious cycle can make it difficult for individuals to break free from the grasp of depression. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, it's important to understand that the first step in overcoming this condition is to set goals that match your actual level of motivation and energy. By giving up on bigger goals and expectations and focusing on achievable ones, you can build momentum and start the process of overcoming depression.

    Self neglect, it’s so gross that I’ll probably lose my teeth. Some may say I’m lazy, but unfortunately it is definitely neglect, my family taught me how not to love myself. It has been devastating, in every area of my life. So sad for anyone who suffers from anxiety / depression.

    I actually had to pause this video to write this comment. I've been suffering with depression for 16 years, and have tried every medication, CBT book, therapy etc. in the world and it got me no relief. I'm only half way through this video and think that I think I may have a shot at beating this thing now! I've never heard it explained this way before. You caught my attention yesterday in another video about "behavioral activation", again another thing you'd think I would've came across over the last 16 years. Anyway, thank you for your awesome presentation and shining a brilliant light on a dark subject. Thanks to you. I'll try again! THANK YOU!

    Just realized for the past 8 years I've been setting up very unrealistic goals for myself, and even though I'm objectively in a very good place in life right now I still feel very dissatisfied with it exactly because of these high expectations. And subconsciously I've been trying to allow myself to give up before thinking how much I would like to leave a "simple life" where I would have no big expectations from myself, no big goals to achieve, no standards to meet. But this can be my life if I want to.
    Thank you so much for making this video and working on your channel in general, the information you provide is very, very useful and important for everyone!

    I’ve been doing activities that I have to, but they don’t make me feel better. It makes me feel worse because of all my self-doubt and criticism of myself. Even just sending a text back, I cringe over whatever I write hours later.

    Is there any science behind this advice? I suffer from depression and anhedonia but I’ve found that completely forgetting about things that used to bring be joy was very helpful. Instead I tried all new things. I studied calculus, I took up a new instrument, I started doing yoga. Because it was all new, it was fresh and the joy came with that. If it’s a loss of joy with your kids, try doing something new with them. Maybe a cooking class together or pottery/art, anything novel to you both.

    The cbt model leaves out fundamental things like physiology and environment and isn't convincing but the other two sections are. Energy and motivation is easy to grasp and see and ties in nicely with things like spoon theory.

      I think it may be due to the low background sound, it's setting a disturbing vibe to the unconcius perception of the listener.
      Sounds like this are used in thrillers and horrors to set the audience off into an earie paranoic mood and keep people engaged inbetween the more dramatic scenes with louder and more obvious sounds.

Background music makes only sense when it's aligned with the video, it has to compliment the message, set the right mood for it or at least be neutral like elevator music that you wouldn't be able to recall after leaving a particular space.

    I tried this and it helped for awhile but i have someone in my life who won't let me continue this. He is pushing me to do more then I can handle and now I'm ready to give up altogether. He just wants to help but doesn't understand its pushing me in a dangerous direction. Things that are easy for him are much more difficult for me and he thinks I don't try. Maybe i don't but why should I do things that make me stress out to the point i just want to end it all. Like i said small and easy for him huge and difficult for me. In a situation now where im just about to just say goodbye world im out.
