How To Use Mindfulness For Depression
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2024
- Mindfulness's attention to the here and now. It's being fully present in the moment. You are experiencing the present moment and non-judgmental way. The brain model of depression is hypo-connectivity between the neurons in certain parts of the brain that regulate and process your emotions and a hyper connectivity in the default mode network. In this video I discussed what the default mode network is and how it relates to depression. I also discuss how mindfulness changes these connectivity patterns.
Here are the specific structures of that brain that make up the default mode network. The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC; areas 23/31), the precuneus, and the medial frontal cortex (MFC, including areas 24/10-m/32), as well as bilateral inferior parietal and posterior temporal areas around the temporoparietal junction area.

I have been on and off medication for depression and anxiety for several years; however, when I sew, quilt, paint, and draw, I think I go into this mindful state, especially sewing. Every stitch is a prayer for my own health and wellness as well as others I love. Same thing when I walk, hike, bike, and ski.🙋🏼♀️
That’s a great way to be mindful.
Does playing computer games also count?
@@tutejshaja creative mode maybe in a building game. Minecraft, the Sims
@@tutejshaja it can but video games are designed to be addictive and trick your brain into releasing dopamine. Mindfulness is not addictive. Addiction is the opposite of mindfulness
@@DrTraceyMarks dr Tracy can you do something on mindfulness and schizophrenia or other types of activities for the illness
I have had an entire life of abuse, I so much appreciate your videos, they are helping me tremendously.
wow, an entire life ?
I totally understand you. Me too.
I’m so sorry u experienced so much abuse in ur life ❤️
💔💔💔
This was very very helpful. My psychiatrist yers ago once told me something very helpful. He said “when you’re washing your hands wash your hands. Focus all your senses on it. And it’s the same whatever you do. Whatever you do, focus on the textures, sensations, and put all your attention on it. Whenever someone says something, focus on it if you’re life depends on it.” Man was that helpful. Thank you Dr Marks. Really appreciate the science behind how our mind works. Very grateful for these videos. Susan
You’re welcome Susan. Thanks for watching.
As part of my treatment for severe depression, I am in the process of teaching myself how to practise mindfulness and just being positive no matter what; and I honestly feel so much better already. Haven't had a really bad depressive day for so long and I am able to finally sleep and even socialize! My psychotherapist feels I may not even need antidepressants after all because my progress is amazing so far.
How are you doing
Oh my gosh yay!!!
Wow! Your words are like a dream to me!
I am happy for you..
Sooooo proud of you. Congrats!!!🎊🎈🎉
Wow, this is inspiring! You inspired me to embrace positivity thru and all ! ❤❤
I practice mindfulness but I also need my medication. Without it, my suicidal ideation increases. I have tried to live without meds. Unfortunatley, it doesn't work for me. We are all different. Thanks for the video.
Yes you’re very right. It doesn’t have to be either or. I’m glad you’re taking the steps you need to be your best.
I think medication and therapy used together are two sides of the same coin. They always have been for me, anyway.
@@janets7291 Yes, that's definitely the gold standard approach. It doesn't always work out though when people don't have good access to therapists and/or doctors or they can't afford to treatment.
Thank you SO MUCH! I always have a hard time figuring that out for myself, but when I read your comment I was like yes I need my medication. God bless you and thank you for aligning me in my thought process
Mega,
What medicines do you take ?
You are a jewel on this platform. Thank you.
INDEED!! I’m sure she has saved MANY lives!!
This is pure gold. I consume everything related to depression, but have never heard of this.
My therapist and I try practicing mindfulness and it helps me.
Exactly haa! 👍
My former therapist gave me an audio mindfulness body awareness and the first and only time I used it, I became hyper- aware of all the emotional distress I was holding in my body. It was like focusing on different parts of my body brought different painful memories to the surface. Even remembering it brings me close to tears. In that incident I started crying, and then sobbing, and I had to stop. Since then I have been diagnosed with PTSD due to early childhood trauma as well as trauma in my late twenties/early thirties.
I really like how you spoke about mindfulness in a non religious way in a logical way. I've benefited a lot from mindfulness practice and yes, I can attest that it is very useful to help with depression and excessive rumination, especially of negative thoughts.
Mediation really works .
I have been on Mirtazapine 15mg for almost 6 years.
Today is my 4th day without the medication.
I tapered down till I got off it .I feel some withdrawals symptoms like nausea and tiredness.hopefully it will disappear soon .
Now I practice meditation .
I also recommend reading a book called :feeling good by David burns .
Anyone who is depressed don’t ever give up
You will be fine and stronger than ever .
Pain will turn into joy .you will be the happiest person. It is a battle and you will be for sure the winner.
Good luck.
I am so happy that you incorporate mindfulness into your practice. And I am so grateful that you did this video. What many do not understand, is that once you become mindful of your thoughts, you are able to better handle the many things life WILL throw at you...including the kitchen sink. I have went beyond MBSR and now pass the education and "insight" needed to maintain my mindfulness to my children. The great thing about mindfulness is you can become a "positive and uplifting" virus that infects everyone around you in a good way, rather than being a "negative and toxic" virus that can make your surroundings and those around you darker. Some people who were in very challenging conditions and situations that most of us could not imagine were able to maintain their mindfulness - where they do not dwell on the past or the future. They were able to keep their mind from the feeling of hopelessness and despair...even though they were surrounded by it . We need more of you! Thanks again for your work!
These are some great points Erica. Thanks for adding this 😊
I really wished I have found this kind of information 4 years ago. It was the worst period of my life. I wish I could go back the time and tell young me about this. I've add meditation in my routine and I feel much much better. And I can sleep better even when I'm feeling on edge.
Thank you for making this video. Will definitely share hopefully it reaches more people in need. No words can express how grateful I am for this channel.
For whoever read this, let's get better together. *hugs*
Dr. Tracy - I love the way you are upfront and honest. You clearly communicate complex emotional processes and deconstruct the habits that keep us stuck. Also, I love your explanation of brain research. Keep it coming!
My doctor was into TCM, and recommended I take vitamin d3000 3x a day (poor Canadian weather = barely sunny) and to practice mindfulness.
Those 2 coupled with adequate exercise got me out of depression of 4 years for good. I have never been depressed since.
Stimulus independent thought is just what i needed to hear to complete my thesis.
Thank you so much I have been hearing lots about Mindfulness I am gonna try this I pray it helps with my depression.
I hope so too. Best wishes.
Great video! Mindfulness exercises are a bit like physiotherapy.. The hardest part is the compliance and adherence.
Very true. It's Easier to talk about in theory than in practice.
Thank you for sharing the science behind mindfulness!😁 I started practicing it 3 years ago from my counselor (who also studies Buddhism). I noticed within a week the anxiety went down and over few months my negative thoughts slowed enough for me to manage life better. The next thing I came across in applying mindfulness is after I went to a drum circle at my church I noticed for first time since I was diagnosed with depression that I had moments my mind was as calm as a lake in early morning. I felt so much relief😁...I bought some frame drums and play along with drumming meditation videos.
Many years ago, a coworker made a casual comment -"All of life is habit." I immediately realized that she was talking not just smoking, drinking, etc., but the ultimate habit - our thoughts.
some times the moment sucks and you don’t want to be in it. For example some times I just feel super tired and detached, that sucks, or feeling alone in a crowd. What then…
Unless you are bordeline and with ADHD, like myself, in which case you already have opinions about everything and cannot focus for over 2 minutes. Must say though, I try to use this when having anxiety attacks, it helps me stop them from escalating.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m currently working on this very skill while battling depression.
Hi. I suffer from anxiety disorder and chronic depression which are so interconnected. I just started doing a very easy 10 minute Tai chi session on you tube. I think it will help.
I think it will help too. Best wishes to both of you
Hey @xandria20 , I hope you are doing better, had the mindfulness help you?
I would buy longer audio from you but thank you for being here and telling us all of this. I will one day share with you just how much you've helped and continue to help me and hopefully the great heights you're helping me reach.
This may just be the most important video you have done for followers of mainstream psychology, as awareness of your thoughts, from which your reality is created, is the basis for mental and physical health. This knowledge will allow people to get off medication and allow their bodies systems to be brought back into balance. Thank you for your dedication to mental health.
Despite the frenzy around mindfulness now, I always had my doubts around the effectiveness, and haven’t seen any complexing scientific discussion around it. Thank you very much for changing my view about it.
You’re welcome Mohammed. 😊
Great video, thank's Doc.
👍👍
This is the third video I've watched and I'm so grateful for you. Thank you so much. I'm divorcing a narcissist that might be a sociopath. He is getting super passive aggressive and I needed a little more help maintaining myself because I was afraid I was gonna give him what he wants. I have the strength and more tools from you to stay silent and keep myself to myself and not give him what he wants. I'm so grateful and appreciate you so much.💚💚💚💚
Thank you Dr Tracey. I just watched your video on what to do about ruminations and it led me to this video on mindfulness. I have a tendscy to go through depressive states when I ruminate. I think this will be the key to making positive changes in my life. I appreciate this a lot and I will share with my family.
Thank you for these videos! I actually refuse medications due to the side effects. I’ve had many doctors try to keep me on medications when they were causing terrible and unbearable side effects. I now manage my depression and anxiety using more alternative methods, for me the most beneficial thing has been certain amino acids. However they are not always enough on their own, so I then use mindfulness techniques combined with the amino acids. It drives me crazy that so many doctors feel patients must remain on prescription medications for life and they don’t even teach about alternative treatments at all. I love your approach and how you teach people about both medication and alternative treatments. I also love your approach of not keeping all patients on medication for the rest of their life and instead tapering them off after a year or so to see if they still need them.
which amino acids?
@@avaprod.8622 there are multiple I use. The main I use for depression is 1000 mg of L-tryptophan. For anxiety, I use L-theanine. Though please be careful and use caution when using, L-tryptophan and 5-htp are two amino acids that cross the blood brain barrier and should NEVER be used in combination with SSRI’s because it can cause serotonin syndrome. As far as I’m aware L-theanine does not cross the blood brain barrier. Though I am not a medical professional so please do your own research and exercise caution when using. I hope this information helps.
Thank you for your videos and your presence here. I often feel that I’m surrounded by a lot of crazies. You are a secure mooring that makes me feel secure in my own mental health.
Dr. Tracey Marks: I PRACTICE mindfulnes and I REALLY BELIEVE that it helps me in the fight against the problems of everyday life.
So glad to hear this knowledge .me personally I feel like taking time to meditate is just as important as working hard afterall what good is being successful but getting stressed out. I meditate everyday 30min when i first wake up!
I love your videos. Always inspiring.... I take medications at a greater interval if I mediate or exercise or even practicing on my hobbies like watercolouring, reading, classical dancing or playing the piano. Distraction from the negativities in life is very important, and coming back to it with a fresh perspective later when you are positive. BUT that is soooo hard to do and it engulfs you and only medication at times can give you the boost you need because you have gone too far into the dark ruminating hole of negativity and fear. Love your videos... Keep it up... and keep reminding how to be our best... Thank you...
Thanks a lot for continuing to follow me. I’m glad the videos are helpful.😊
Yoga Nidra of soft women's voices, not of a man's harsher tone, body scanning guided meditation has saved my mental and physical well being. I listen every night and sometimes in the morning and throughout the day. Your videos are a great help too.
Love from Uruguay, Thnx for the videos!
My psychologist conducts mindfulness workshops in Asiri hospital. I have followed the course of workshops and it has been very helpful specially against ruminative thoughts and even intrusive-thoughts. Mindfulness is not something you do once and get fixed, but a lifestyle change and a commitment to it.
Excellent point Vishiva. I’m glad you’ve gotten into the practice of mindfulness and made it part of your lifestyle.
I found it easier to integrate mindful-eating and mindful-walking into everyday life.
Really informative. Explained without too much overload of information. Understanding those brain connections made a lot of sense. Thank you
Dr. Tracey Marks this video was just like your other videos very informative and very valuable. I greatly appreciate all your dedication to us who are learning from all your endeavours. thank you
I’ve recently found a weekly Vinyasa Yoga class. I love how the yoga teacher started her recent class with a guided awareness meditation based on the 3 As : Approach, attitude, awareness... I’me determined to keep up the class as I could feel myself getting better during my postures. Having the right approach and attitude and awareness enabled me to hold my balance and focus on the postures properly, correctly and confidently.
Oh that's great Maxine. That sounds awesome. Enjoy. 😊
This is my favorite channel on RUclips! You have the most helpful videos thank you 💕
Thank you very much. I'm 70year old widower trying to think of my time as a bonus time. Maybe one year or upwards of thirty years to share.
I Dra Tracey I just found your videos. Loved them I already subcribed. I believe in mindfullnes but at the moment is very hard to use it. For 7 years now I've been taking care of my toxique mother besides my other responsabilities. She is a very dificult person nothing is fine has no patione sees no good in things and so on... I think she survived because my father treated her like a queen. Fortunely I came like my father I appreciat things. My father died 7 year ago and ever since I had to take care of her... but really it is starting to burn me out. I feel sad, depressed and my feelings are getting week. Mindfullness is really weekening because I have no quiet life. She is 94 years old but she was always like that. Yes so I'm depressed I'm tired and alone in this. Still I have to on... but sometimes I do not know how to. Graça from Portugal
I am feeling good now, thank you doc!
I'm schizophrenic can meditation help
I......Love....you. You have helped me so much. I feel so much better. And I almost let myself go. I'm just so upset.
A practice meditation every day listennig to gods words in quràan.
They are so peacefully taking me out of this world of strugles and sooth my anexiety
Dr Marks, is extremely articulate and speaks simply enough for me to follow along. I think my body doesn’t produce dopamine any better then insulin.
Look up Ken Berry insulin, Ketogenic diets are shown to reduce inflammation in the brain, and depression is thought to be largely driven by inflammation
And you can reduce your insulin because fat and protein doesn't really spike insulin as much as carbs and protein do!
I mean, I just came to know the channel, but for someone who is usually pretty self deprecating, daydreaming, and inattentive at work, and knows that has issues but hasn't been able to find proper therapy in the US to the point that feels that he is hopeless, Dr. Tracey is doing the work of God.
I love your mindfulness videos. Thank you so helpful for some reason today my mic was stuck in painful memories of the past, and I couldn’t enjoy the pleasure of the day.
Watching your channel from Ukraine. And this what I got using the link to your website: "Access from your area has been temporarily limited for security reasons"
Thanks.
I do a form of mindfulness to get to sleep. I lie in bed with my eyes closed and count all the different sounds. For example, I'll run through my head " #1 my own breath. #2 dogs barking #3 cars..." etc. If i loose track I start over and I focus carefully on each sound before going on to the next. Its puts me to sleep every time. (It just doesn't work in the summer when the ac unit drowns out all other sounds...)
PTL Dr. Marks…thank you for sharing this; it’s really encouraging. It’s a great explanation; an easier example to understand. Such great examples of being present and aware💯💌!
This is the best explanation of mindfulness I've heard! I've always said I suck at it but now I realize I've been practicing it in some ways all along. Mindless mindfulness??? 🤔 I will definitely check out your download & am sending this video to a friend. Thank you so much, Dr Marks!
Oh that’s great. I I like the mindless mindfulness LOL 😊
Thank you for your professional opinion on this matter! I appreciate what you do to help others and bringing the topic of mindfulness up.
You’re welcome Melissa. 😊
Very good channel! Thx Tracey! Im currently on my 2week on sertaline, just can’t sleep...
Thank you Dr. Marks! You have helped me so very much with your videos!
Your so welcome Hillary!
Me too.
I am working with a CBT psychologist as well as a psychiatrist (18 years w/ psychiatrist) and... I learned pretty quickly to no longer dissociate. Almost a year in, I questioned the usefulness of my antidepressant. I had been taking it for all these years, but things started to get more in control with the addition of CBT / DBT . I diminished my AD by half, aka the minimum amount needed for it to have any effect. In January, as I was also taking daily for a month B9 supplement for a deficiency, I realized that I was forgetting my AD, and didn't know if I took it that day, so... skipping it.
I talked about it with my psychiatrist and I stopped the AD, knowing that I could start again if something went wrong: I felt no change. My thoughts were that, tbh, my liver and kidneys probably did feel a change.
I wish there were a simple way to measure the effectiveness of an AD but it is much more complicated than that.
I do less things.
I don't feel the same need to fill "the void", the anxiety, with going all over the place, thinking all over the place.
CBT gave me tools to press my inner pause button and acknowledge that I am feeling anxious about this or that activity, as well as tools to calm myself down, and act instead of reacting as much as possible.
It is complicated to not come at myself with the "lazy/failure " etc... self talk; same with knowing where the balance is between going to fast and really, holding back.
As I write this, I am simply concluding with telling myself that it is a journey, I am learning about living with myself, and it is not a short ,clear cut thing. I have the right to not get it right. It is okay. I have music to listen to to be in the moment
Thank you Dr Tracey, I so need to work on mindfulness!!!
Thank you, Dr. Marks, this is highly important and helpful.
I like mindfulness but still needs med. mindfulness however has helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for your videos. You are so smart..
Thanks Dr. Tracey, your videos really helps me and for sure many people to understand more about their emotions, their wellbeing, and their mental health 🙏
This doctor lady is awesome !
Thank you for giving real world examples and explanations in your videos. I really appreciate it!
Just. Thank you for producing these. They're so helpful and the additional documentation and supporting material, too.
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without experiencing anxiety. I had to fight so hard to beat it and I’m still doing my best to this day.. but I wouldn’t let anxiety control my life.
It's hard to not ruminate when living on my own but I am practicing mindfulness meditation and reading lots about it I think it's just about catching myself thinking negative and stop it before I get lost in the thought and not drinking helps a lot
In my experience, it doesn’t matter which approach is better. I need an “all of the above” approach. Medication, counseling, exercise, diet and mindfulness. If I let any one of those things slip I fall back into major depression.
My depression went completely untreated until my 30s. I often wonder if earlier intervention might have changed my brain in some way. Maybe someday we’ll know.
Being around my kids was one way I lived life more mindfully. Just the way they see everyday life ... we were rushing to get errands done; without her I wouldn't have noticed the beautiful double rainbow in the sky... or just appreciating the colors of the sunset.
That’s great. Yes being with your children can be a way to soak in and appreciate your environment.
Good information. From my observations, mindfulness coupled with EMDR allows for the restructuring of past negative thoughts/experiences to be viewed as important parts in making you a better person today. Instead of ruminating on negative events, one can view them as important events that give experience and insight to help them improve.
Great point Dennis. That's actually at the heart of mindfulness. It’s about acceptance of the events versus trying to forget about them. Thanks for your comment!
I've been on and off of medication since I was 16 but I didn't start taking it faithfully till 2015. They say I'm bipolar 1 , anti social anxiety disorder ,scho affected disorder, cpsd, ADHD. OCD. Eating disorders ataxia and or bulimia tintacy , bpd , suicidal or homicidal symptoms. But I'm taking medication and medication and dealing with childhood molestation, raped. Kidnapped , had gun put in my face they pull the trigger and it jammed. I know there is a God cause I'm now able to function unless I am under stress for any length of time. Put the Lord JESUS Christ is bringing me through it and I'm remembering things that has happened and still Jesus is greater than my mind and its been a process but I don't believe that God pulled me out of All these thing's for nothing. It would be a shame if He didn't use this for my good and for His Glory. I'm so thankful and grateful for who and what I am becoming. From Glory to Glory to Faith to Faith. PRAISE the Lord JESUS Christ AMEN and AMEN (Forgotten Tears) to (Joyous Tears)in Georgia 🙏🔥👑🥀🌹🌷⚘💖

Thank you for the download. I plan to sneak it into a very busy life daily.
I ruminate over things . I worry about the future too much but I can't seemed to stop .
I love you Dr Marks! Thank you for our food!!
Really love your videos! I'd like to hear a little bit more about how to have mindfulness while participating in activities during the day.
Thank You Dr I definitely need more of this teaching every day ‼️🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
Thank you. I'll give this a try. I tick all the boxes for someone who is depressed and suffers with anxiety. I'm on clomipramine and I'll try mindfulness.
Thank you, Thank you and did I say Thank you. I realize my brain can only tolerate so much. I just subscribe to your channel. Listener for life.
Brilliant differentiation of experiencing and thinking
This is great DOC I'm sending this to my daughter in college right away. I hope she watches this several times over and gets to your audio❗️😃
Thanks John for sharing it. I hope she finds it helpful. 🙂
wish you are my dad
Thank you for these valuable lessons Dr. Please make a complementing video on yoga as therapy for anxiety
for some reason, mindfulness meditation always ends up giving me extreme feelings of sadness, rage, or anxiety that i can't explain the sources of, as well as increased feelings of physical pain
I feel like there may be some things that you need to address within. Only you know what those things may be ❤️
Maybe mindfulness is releasing all those emotions? It’s like allowing u to to let go of those pent up feelings
Mindfulness gets easier with practice, like tennis, video games or cooking. Repetition strengthens and confirms. So much better than isolation and avoidance.
Brilliant! There's hope (and exercises) for my brain! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is excellent. Thank you for making mindfulness understandable and practical with regard to mood, thoughts and behaviors.
You are so helpful to me . I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
An enlightening explanation of mindfulness. ❤ thank you.
Just found your channel. I appreciate you.
Thank you Angel
referring to jordan peterson quote of” are you depressed or you just have a terrible life”
could be that someone is depressed but its not because they have “tunnel vision” on negative thoughts or focus too much on them, but because they just live in a terrible situation and enviorment ?
Starting today. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
What causes dreaming every night???
@@alikamara7483 I think you posted this comment to the wrong person. No one is talking about dreaming in this video or in my comment to this video.
Dr. Tracey Marks you are a Godsend and I know it's a big help to the black community. Thank you, thank you and thank you!!!!
I believe that she's a big help to all communities that need such services. Her message targets all with these specific mental health issues.
Those examples were so funny because I forget someone’s name immediately after they say it, but my Wife is really good at remembering names, and the other hand, I love to walk slowly and take in my surroundings and what’s happening, it brings me so much joy - she really dislikes doing it. Headphones on, glassy eyes, or to the ground, with a fast and “get me home” pace, even when we are literally on a walk-in the forest. So the exact examples given are the exact two applicable examples in the opposite way. That amused me
Thank you so much !@ Doc tracey , i love ur video about mindfulness ,.its what i need to help me cope with
my situation right now !@ ur Godsend !@😍😉
it’s true. Our thoughts are connected to our feelings. But it’s also true that we can bring our ruminating “thoughts into captivity.” 2 Corinthians 10 :5
Definitely will share this one
Thank you for another great video, I'm going to try the meditation right now.
ADD or ADHD makes it hard to focus during a mindfulness session. Depression, Autism, OCD/intrusive thoughts, anxiety are often co-morbid with ADD/ADHD. So it is hard to be mindful when you are constantly having scattered thoughts. I'm not against mindfulness. It just seems like you are saying to someone who has incredible difficulty with focus and concentration to fix it by focusing and concentrating. I can only pay attention to my breath for a minute at a time before i get completely off-,track. Watching my scattered thoughts without judgement also only ladts a couple of minutes. Then i am in another world a second later and forget what i am doing. I have tried and tried.
Thanks a lot Dr. Tracy Marks
Thanks for the informative video. Buddhist Mindfulness techniques are wonderful.
I am so happy to find your channel ☺️. You're wonderful.
Awesome info. Thank you for giving so much so freely.
Thank you so much for educating us
