Rethinking Depression Part 2, Depression & Bipolar Myths

Rethinking Depression Part 2, Depression & Bipolar Myths

Anna Miller, the founder and CEO of The Depression Project and Carol Creel, the President of LifeWorks Marketing discuss common myths surrounding mental health issues such as depression, bipolar disorders and anxiety problems. Are these experiences really mental illnesses as psychiatry and big pharma would have you believe? Is depression really caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain? Are there alternatives to treating these problems without the use of antidepressants or other medications or psychotropic drugs? What are some ways someone might be able to begin to recover from depression?

Though I appreciate the cleavage, I miss all the women with pretty legs who used to dominate this thought-provoking, intellectual channel.

Woman in blue is going on about absolutely nothing logical. "I created depression for my healing."... really asshole? 

Rubbish and offensive and she's not hired as coach of anything in my life.

Boy can I relate to THIS!! so nice to hear why " have been the way I have in the past 6 months..

Yeah, most "forgiveness" nowadays is simply denial, pretending not to be hurt and making yourself feel guilty and in the wrong, and the people who have mistreated you in the right. You always hear "get over it". How are you supposed to get over someone wronging you if they don't even acknowledge it happened let alone apologize? All the blame and responsibility is put on the person who has been hurt and they are labelled "petty", "unable to let go" etc. I cut off anyone who acts this way

Excessive forgiveness is dangerous because it will enable those hurting you to continue. It is such a flawed concept, yea you're happy because the burden of responsibility is removed but the abuser should not be encouraged by forgiveness. And yes, it will most likely encourage them not make them change. I don't believe in a god or an afterlife, I think those beliefs are delusions. Delusions which can alleviate depression or responsibility.
