Depression creates a cycle of worry and stress due to chemical imbalances in the brain that require proactive management and consistent daily practices. Accepting a mental health diagnosis and seeking treatment both present challenges, creating a "rock and hard place" situation that requires determination to overcome.
• Depression causes the brain to function differently, leading to constant worry and anxiety
• Chemical imbalances (lack of serotonin) are the primary cause of depression
• Depression often runs in families, making those with family history more susceptible
• Anxiety from depression can become severe enough to require hospitalization
• Morning showers provide essential energy to start the day positively
• Getting 15 minutes of sunlight daily helps improve mood
• 10-15 minutes of daily exercise increases endorphins that affect mood
• Accomplishing at least two goals daily creates momentum and energy
• Breaking large tasks into smaller segments makes them more manageable
• Three steps to defeat worry: avoid others' problems, stay ahead through self-care, channel energy positively
• Depression can make you believe things that aren't true or make mountains out of molehills
• Even after 80 episodes, the host still experiences depressive episodes
• Suicide is never an option - your absence would create immeasurable pain for loved ones
