Episode 28 - Understanding Depression
Depression isn’t always about feeling sad. Sometimes it’s feeling exhausted for no obvious reason, losing interest in things you normally enjoy, struggling to get out of bed, or simply feeling like you’re running on empty
In this episode, we’re taking a look at what depression actually is, what it can look and feel like, and why it can be so difficult to just “snap out of it” (spoiler: it doesn’t work like that!)
We’ll chat about some of the common signs and symptoms, the difference between having a bad day and experiencing depression, and how depression can affect everyday life, relationships and the way we see ourselves
I’ll also share a little personal experience along the way, because mental health conversations don’t always have to be clinical or heavy
So, grab a cuppa, get comfortable, and let’s talk about depression without the jargon
