Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life
Linda's Corner - What to do when a loved one has depression
Being a loved one or caregiver of someone with depression is challenging. In today's episode I'm going to share a few things that I hope will be helpful to you as you endure this challenge. As a person who has experienced and overcome depression, I have some unique insight as I share things what my loved ones tried that helped or didn't help. I'll share some of the chemistry behind depression and how it affects a person. I'll also share an analogy to help get a visual image to relate to the situation and also share some things that we can do to overcome depression.
One of the most important aspects of healing and recovering from any mental or emotional issue is the belief that change is possible. Researchers call this "positive expectancy," and it figures prominently in whether or not therapy or treatment of any kind is successful.
In order to do the hard work of changing or healing, we have to believe that change is actually an option. The good news is that change really is an option. Healing is possible. If you can help your loved one gain that positive expectancy, it will increase the likelihood that they will be willing to do the hard work required for healing.
