THE TRUTH ABOUT DEPRESSION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2018
- Meet my bestfriend, Sarah Lopez-Pozas. She was diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). I invited her for this video so she can share her experiences (about mental health) and give us a wider perspective about this subject. Hope you can all take time to watch the entire video.
__________
ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM SARAH:
1. Find people who are in the same boat and build a support system. I have one at work and we learn from each other a lot.
2. Try out and find out what things complement or compromise your treatment. Different things work for different people. Some coped up by changing their diet to no proccessed foods, others tried meditation or prayer, others were able to wean off their meds this way.
3. Get off social media for certain periods of time. I think social media is a great tool, and you can get back on it when stable.
4. Do not compare yourself to others. Others may have gone through worse than yours, but you are a different person, with a different brain, with different upbringing, with a different system. Accept this and work on your health. All will be okay in time.
__________
HOW TO SEEK FOR HELP?
1. If you are in school, you can reach out to the school psych, that's normally at a cheaper cost or sometimes even free.
2. Psychiatrists are those who can prescribe meds. The most affordable are in the public mental health centers. Look for one in your city to book easily.

Couldn't agree more.
Kuya ben!! Thank you for using your channel to give awareness about depression!! We need more of you/mental health advocates to educate people about mental illness. Let’s all stop the stigma and RAISE MORE AWARENESS! Thank you to the both of you! 😊💛
A million thank you for bringing some light to people who feel like they are in never ending darkness.
I really don't know if I had a depression before. Pero yung symptoms are all similar to mine. I feel worthless, yung gigising ka sa umaga umiiyak ka tapos anytime of the day bigla kang iiyak and felt like nobody loves you. I had a big problem back then and ayoko sya iopen up even sa family ko kasi ayoko sila mabother. Dun nagstart lahat. Nanginginig ako. Tapos may one time nasa mall ako, naglalakad ako tapos hindi ko maramdaman yung sarili ko. Para akong nakalutang. I was so thankful na back then may taong kumausap sakin. Then I share it to him, I just cried and tell him my story. I also pray din na sana mawala na yung nararamdaman ko. Now, medyo nararamdaman ko padin sya but not to the extent na malala like before.
It is very important for us to reach out to those people na nakakaramdam nito. Wag natin sila ijudge agad, lalo na sa social media na madalas dun sila nagoopen up. Most of them use social media as a channel to express how they feel cos they feel worthless and no one will listen to them. Give a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to them because they need that. The feeling of being safe and cared about. The feel of being valued and loved.
Thank you so much Ben for this video. ❤️ You're a big help and inspiration to us.
I’ve been suffering depression until now but I know I can get through this. Things will be better for me, not for me but for everyone who are having this. It’s a matter of time before everything sets in place. I love this video. It makes sense. More power to you Ben, God bless you.
Thank you for sharing about your thoughts about depressions and anxiety.. For me one of the best solution for depression is to have someone, it could be a friend, brother, sister or a family member or anyone that your comfortable to talk to, about your problems or things that you are going through.🤔
This is so timely. Good job Benedict for tackling such a sensitive issue.
Alam ni Lord na kailangan kong mapanood ito.. Thank You.. 💙💙💙
You just blessed a lot of people with this content. Pls stay relevant like this, just subbed coz of this.
Thank you ben and sarah!
Thank you for sharing this, Ben and Miss Sarah! 💕
I am just so amazed. Been consistently talking to my friends who's going through depression and anxiety but I wish I could learn more about it hays. God bless to both of you
Man it's a good way of topic to listen and learn. A shout Out for that strong woman who survive that kind of struggles. God bless to both of you❤✌
Sana dumami pa yung Gaya mo na gagaya nito... Ng ganyan helping people verbalize their feelings.. You're really an inspiration for us Ben..
This is an awareness video, and I myself is guilty about augmenting feelings. I thought it was okay to cheer up depressed people, but it’s more of hearing them and try to understand what they are going through. Thanks for this video, Ben! Kudos to you, and Thanks to Sarah too, for sharing!
I love you, Ben! Thanks for enlightening my mind😘 You are such a good RUclipsr!!❤
Hi Sarah, (Hope this message gets to you) thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. I saw you one time at the mall and I really wanted to come and talk to you just to say thank you personally but I was not able to. You gave me the chance to understand how my brother feels since he really does not share anything about what he's feeling atm. But like you, he was clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. I hope I can provide him the company and support he needs right now.
Thank you Ben for having contents like this in your channel. Your vids really do have substance that people nowadays need to know and understand. Looking forward to your next vids! Good job!
I was planning to do a vlog about this issue, but I was so hesitant for a long time. I was also diagnosed 3 years ago with GAD and Depression. I'm also taking medication until now. I like what Sarah said, "if you don't have vibe with your doctor just switch" It happend to me before and now I feel like I'm in good hands with my doctor. I will be sharing this video, it gave me so much drive or even talk about it publicly. Thank you Ben and Sarah! Shangdi baoyou! 😊
habang pinapanuod ko to UMIYAK ako. Naramamdaman ko si Sarah. I believe na malalagpasan mo yan. Basta lagi ka ng mag PRAY. Thank you for sharing your story. lablab
Please don't and never give up for me... for us... for yourself. I love you so much to the fact that my week is not complete when I didn't saw your face. Being depressed is really difficult but I know that you can surpass that challenge and I believe in you. We believe in you.
Hi guys! I as also diagnosed with GAD! Its not really easy. I feel you guys out there who has depression and anxiety. I dont know but what i do about it is i look forward to the future and i think beautiful things. I mean i have to set goals. I want to be like this, i want to be like that. Its not easy guys but pls do give it a try. Find someone who has grace like the ocean. Who is our GOD. Listen to praising songs if you like to be alone atleast napapagaan ang loob nyo and dont forget to pray. Instead of worrying. Pray lang pray!
Thank you for this. Super proud of you. Keep being positive!
OMG! Thank you guys for the help. For sure marami kayong matutulungan. GOD BLESS YOU MORE. iloveyou. ❤❤❤
I'm anxious, worried about the things will happen week before the day, heart beating fast every night because I'm thinking about tomorrow; school, how my classmates will look down on you (even if not all people are not really always looking at you). Thank you for the great video!
This was precious. Thank you to you both.
Sir Ben i love how you balance emotions.....
Thank you ben for opening this kind of topic, I'm learning from it.
I love that you have lots of intellectual friends whom you can talk about things that matter with.
Ben thanks for making this kind of video. Sadly, I’ve been also experiencing trauma, anxiety and depression. I have been talked to psychiatrist as well. It’s really hard to overcome these things. I could say that this is the worst thing that could happen to someone. So much painful and tiring situation could experience. There are times thinking to do suicide and I keep on asking God and questioning Him. I felt that I made the biggest sin.
It’s been 6 years of trying to overcome these things. I know little by little.
For those people who are experiencing these things, I know it’s really hard, painful, tiring, and i know the feeling of giving up. Just keep on going. As a fighter of trauma, anxiety and depression, just always remind your self that the only person that can help you is your self. People around you can give pieces of advice and guide you. But if you don’t start with yourself nothing will get better. Its always starts and ends with you. Keep on fighting. We have to fight! We have a lot of choices and its on our own hand to choose the best for ourself. 🙏🏻
It's hard but it's not impossible. I am proud of you!!
Wow! Couldn’t thank both of you enough for this content ❣️
This is one of my fave videos of yours by far :) I too suffered from depression and until now I guess. These words from her were really comforting, on my part. So, thank you for making this video
Inabangan koto...Pag ka Post pa lang nya sa Group....this toppiicc iiis ssuuppeerr nniicccee ..
#supportalways
While I watching this Video Kuya Ben.I feel na kahit konti ay nabawasan ang mga nararamdaman ko.Thank you so much po.Keep being you Kuya and I/we will support you for your journey .Thank you for this kuya dahil feeling ko may naka usap na ako na nakaka intindi sa akin.Keep safe and God Bless po Kuya Ben
Thanks ben. Another knowledge to book. Ms. Sarah thanks din for sharing hope you’ll overcome your depression and anxiety.
Thankyou for using this as a platform to spread awareness about depression. Thankyou thankyou!!
I had this really empty feeling like 2 years ago that lasted for 2 years I think because of OCD.. It was one of the lowest lows that i felt in my life. It was consistent sadness coupled with hatred for some people around me who contributed to the negativity. I felt like I wasn't making progress in life. I thought i was depressed but after hearing your story, I'm not sure anymore coz i wasn't clinically diagnosed.. maybe it was utter sadness because i still had a little glimmer of hope for the future coz I'm positive most of the time. Now I'm a lot better and I think maaattribute ko yun sa healthier eating at habits ko pati narin sa increased productivity na iniimpliment ko na ngayon sa sarili ko.. I'm sorry you had to go thru that and I'm glad you seeked help. You could go really dark and morbid especially when you feel that you're numb and hopeless in everything, but I'm glad you talked and opened up about it and potentially helped somebody depressed :)
Gosh relate ako. While she's talking naiiyak ako talaga. I'm so glad and proud of myself now na na overcome ko yung depression. Ang ganda ng session na toh thanks kuya Ben and to your friend. Sabi ko sa sarili ko di ako matutulog ng di ko mapapanood to and it's worth to watch.
I've been in depression this past few days and I felt like I am the biggest failure to my family. Everytime I made a mistake or made a bad decisions I always blame myself for not doing my best. Good thing I am trying my best to overcome it each day. I am a student kuya benedict, I am a psychology student so the disorder you mention was part of our study. Thank you for making this video to inspire others by the story of your bestfriend and what is the best way cope up with it. Such an interesting video :)
This video is worth sharing. 👍
Thank you! This is something worth sharing to everyone..
very educational and vlog kuys ben...sana maraming pang kasunod...
Woo what a topic!!❣ Super nice!❤
Video that I need is finally here!
Thank you benny!! I know tinatry mo mag vlog ng mga educational and that's great. Keep it up! Love youuuuuu!!!😘😘😘
Thanks for this. Still binge watching your videos, benny.
Thank you Benedict! This has been very helpful as my special child brother is currently going through depression and I also went through that phase as our parents and our lola passed away and thank you for this awareness...😊😉
Ganda ng content na to it is something that you will learn about depression and how to deal with it. I am also diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Year 2012 was the saddest thing that happened in my life but people here are sharing their experiences already which is same as mine. Let's just fight for it and go on with our lives. Thank you Ben!!!
This is so helpful especially to those people who are really suffering depression :)
This is very educational, informative and helpful for those who don’t understand and for those who want to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for this Kuya Ben and Ms. Sarah. I have friends who also suffer anxiety and depression but I don't know what to say or what to advice. I'm afraid in choosing the right word to advice. I really hope and pray for all the people who are currently suffering to GAD AND MDD to be okay and live life to the fullest. 🙏💋
Bakit ganito yung mga contents mo Kuya Ben? Walang tapon, may informative, inspirational, may entertaining. Wow. Keep it up!

Good job po kuya ben . Sobrang ganda ng vlog mo and makakatulong pa sa mga may ganyang sitwasyon .
I feel that way but I cant share it to anyone because I don't know if my friends would believe or not. I kept it to my family - I felt it's a burden to them. Thank you for sharing this insights.
Yey first comment ako love you kuya ben!! God bless😊
Thanks for this kuys. Been there too, I know how it feels like. "choose to fight even if it is hard to".

SUPER DUPER relate ako dito kuya ben.. Pinag kaiba lang nung nasabi sakin ng doc. Na may MDD ako. Nabigyan ako ng gamot kaso di ko tinuloy tuloy ung pag inom nung gamot na yun. I tried to heal myself . hinanap ko talaga ung mga taong makakaintindi sakin . as in. Grabe ngayon nakahanap ulit ako ng taong na parehas ng nararanasan ko .. Thank you dito sa video na to kuya.. Grabe 😭😭😭 ngayon kinakausap ko ung mga taong nkikita ko sa mga social media na parang sad sila or parehas nung naranasan ko kahit di ko close. Kasi kailangan din nila ng kausap eh . so ayun salamat talaga sa video na to. Ipapanood ko rin to sa mga taong nakakaranas ng tingin ko nasa stage na ng depression.. Salamat po.
Thanks for this vlogs, you guys are so powerful!!
Very helpful and timely. Thanks for bringing her to one of your vlogs. I love the variations on contents sa vlog mo
I'm cryingggggg! Grabe.
Salamat po sa inyong dalawa sa pagbibigay nang kaalaman about these topics. Sa panahon na kinabibilangan natin kailangan nga namin o natin ang ganitinong kaalaman hinggil sa nasabing pangnagilangang medikasyon at [agkaunawa sa mga taong nakararanas nito. Salamat pong muli. Pagpalain.
Hi Ben, thank you for sharing this kind of vlog... watching this right now... naalala ko yung pinag daanan ko last year. Tipong, hindi ko na nakikita yung sarili ko na makakaabot ako ng 2020 😭. It feels like I'm in a uneding dark tunnel (if iddescribe ko sya) because that was my darkest days of my entire life. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk to someone kasi I feel so demotivated, and hindi ko kaya mag kwento with a friend. Wala akong kagana gana sa buhay, nawala sakin yung mga dati kong naeenjoy gawin, yung pakiramdam na lagi akong pagod at yung feeling na araw-araw ako pinapatay to the point na nag mamakaawa na ko to seek for help kasi hindi ko na kaya. Dumating na din ako sa point na nag ttake na ko ng sleeping pills sa kagustuhan kong makatulog kasi nagkaron na ko ng sleep deprivation to the point na nahihilo na ko sa sobrang walang tulog... Nasa point din ako nun na kinukurot ko yung sarili ko, kasi narerelax ako in a way na, mas gusto ko nakikita yung scars, hindi ko alam ah, pero na rerelieve ako na makita yung outside wound kesa sa inner wound, tipong, masakit sa puso eh parang may tumutusok na ewan and it is so hard to keep on track minsan, and in that way, I feel alive 🙁 and I always keep reminding myself na, I can't wait to be better, to feel better. I can't wait to see the new me, the stronger version of me... araw araw that's my mantra til I woke up one day with a not so heavy heart hanggang sa naging okay ako... up to now... Sa lahat ng nakakaranas ng gantong situation, wag kang bibitiw, it will soon end and if hindi na kaya, seek for help na, walang masama dun... hindi kayo nag iisa... ❤❤
this is so helpful. thank you, really.
naiiyak ako sa vlog na to! sobrang da best to kuya ben! thank you for using your channel para sa mga nakakaranas ng ganito. sobrang worth it yung panonood ko!
This kind of vlog is a must watcheeeeeeed
While watching this video i'm crying because i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and then i already stop for 2 years in school, because im not feeling well when i dont feel so happy like nung dati na ako yung sobrang saya, pero ngayon hindi na, siguro pambihira nalang akong tumatawa. Buti nalang my parents is supporting me. That's all.
I’ve been watching videos of you and baninay then this came in. Two thumbs up (and more) for this content. Thank you Ben and to Sarah for sharing her story.
By the way, I’m a Psychology graduate and this kind of content is very much needed for us to spread mental health awareness. Sadly, due to family matters I am not in the field anymore but as much as I could I help those people who reach out to me.
I just want to comment.. Yes Ben, let us not invalidate sadness of other people. But for me for the generations today mejo na-overuse nila yung word na Depress! Because katulad ng explanation ni Sarah there is a big difference between sad ka lang and theres hope compare to depression na. While some people nowadays tend to use depress more as just only being sad.
So, in that case ang hirap idetermine kung they need help because they might be depress or meron kasi na sinasabi lng yun para pansinin mo sila. Just want to tell those people na as long as you can use “I am sad/ lonely” use it instead of saying you are depressed kasi nga that is two different things.
Nevertheless, If you feel extremely sad and lonely kahit na papunta na yan ng depression or hindi pa naman always seek for help. Always have someone to talk to. We have our families who are very much willing to listen and we have friends. There are also communities (like YFC or Youth for Christ) out there that you can join so you can extend your connections.
Again, Best job for this Ben. Thanks for making this content. Keep them coming. 👍🏻👆🏻💪🏻
Andaming kong realization sa content nato 😊 talagang ang galing mong content creator 😊 promise
Thanks for this content Ben its really helpful sa lahat ng may depressionl
👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤ so much insights and thoughts were shared kuya ben. Thank You po.
Everyone please take time to watch this, seems like too mahaba pero this is VERY INFORMATIVE.
This make me subscribe.. thank you for sharing her story..more inspiring vlogs please.
Hi Ben and Sarah! Thank you so much for doing this video. I understand more how difficult it is for my sister, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder & ADD, those two do not make a good combination. I will definitely put to mind your tips on how to help people struggling with these kinds of problems. Great content! And I get your intention -- to educate more people about these sensitive topics. More like this please! Maybe... Discuss LGBT? How to respect, be more senstitive, and accepting? Understand people/friends who are part of the LGBT community? Looking forward to your new video!
aww ganda ng content bagay sa panahon ngayon. great idea benny😇
Great entry! And, hats off to Sarah -- undergoing depression and sharing your personal experiences are two equally difficult things do, let alone do it publicly! God bless you guys! :)
Worth it to share this video💓
Thanks for the info it's very helpfull
sobrang ganda ng video na ito kuya Ben! para sa mga teenager na katulad ko po.. sobrang dami kong natutunan kuya Ben!!
Thanks Kuya Ben and Ate Sarah. This vid helps me assess my present condition.
Grabe naiyak ako while watching this kasi i also have anxiety for years na until now. This really helps me para mas maging aware ako sa current state ng mental health ko.
I also have a friend who also suffering from depression and nag try syang mag suicide last week luckily nag fail ung ginawa nya kaso until now she doesn't talk a lot which makes us feel so down cuz we can't help her.
All we(my friends) can do as of now is to be with her as much as we can and share some positive thoughts as much as possible.
Thank you kuya ben for making this kind of vlog! I really appreciate it a lot. More quality vlogs in the future! God bless and goodluck!
As always,your content is good. thank you for this kuya ben, God Bless you and the girl beside you 💙
SHOCKS :( ANG RELEVANT NITO KUYA BEN! I just hope that everyone will take good care of their mental health. Truly, stop invalidating people's sadness. Thank you Kuya Ben for this, sana ma-share 'to sa facebook, mas marami kasi ang makakapanood nito.
