6. My Therapist Diagnosed Me with Clinical Depression
Manage episode 303175819 series 2986968
Trauma since 9 y.o. Diagnosed with depression at 29. Telling mom about it. It’s Angie’s turn to talk about her spirals, diagnoses, and how stigmas against mood disorders and medication had inhibited her from seeking help earlier.
Highlights:
- Kristy and Angie are geniuses and did not read the manual
- Why do we succumb to the stigmas of mental health and hurt ourselves in that process?
- Finding out decades later that you are genetically predisposed to having depression and anxiety
- Leaky holes
Takeaway:
- Mental health is just as important as physical health, and needs to be treated as such
- Communication with your family is important if there is a history of mental health challenges
- Being diagnosed with depression is not a death sentence; you can still lead a very meaningful, good life
- Accepting your depression and learning to manage it is like taking back the control of your own ship
