25 ‘Embarrassing’ Symptoms of Depression We Don’t Talk About
Depression is an Illness, Not a Weakness
Major depression is an illness and not a weakness or failure. This video shows you how depression develops in the brain. I also talk about how long depression lasts. Depression is more than sadness or a temporary funk. Since it’s beyond your control, you can’t simply stop being depressed. I discuss the kindling effect and how it can make your depression worse. I also discuss depression statistics in the United States. According to the last statistics, recovery from depression typically begins within 3 months of onset for two in five individuals with major depression and within 1 year for four in five individuals. 40% of people start to recover within 3 months of the onset of symptoms. 80% within a year The length of a depressive episode is in the range of 5–6 months, with approximately 20% of episodes becoming chronic (i.e., lasting beyond 2 years). Estimates of recurrence range from ~ 50% within the first year to up to 85% during a lifetime. I upload every Wednesday at 9am, and sometimes have extra videos in between.

The Dilemma of High-Functioning Depression
High-functioning depression, or dysthymia. may be harder to detect than major depressive disorder (MDD) because the people living with it are often high achievers who make you think everything is all right all the time.

From Amazon.com: “The link between childhood trauma and the subsequent development of depression, anxiety and other psychiatric conditions is beyond dispute. In this eBook, psychologist David Hosier MSc, who himself suffered severe childhood trauma, and, subsequently, depression and anxiety leading to hospitalizations, electroconvulsive shock treatment and near death by suicide, examines this link through a series of comprehensive, yet easily digestible, articles.
