Give Up, Stop Trying, Feel Better: Depression Skills 2 | Dr. Rami Nader

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.
