I don't have depression but I can imagine that videos like that would make someone feel even worse. Putting the responsibility on the person failing to do something, instead of the actual physical and chemical changes going on. Some things out of people's control. I'm so glad you're clearing up the misinformation.
And people do things like that all the time, especially in conversations about suicide. People often focus on "how could you hurt the people around you like that?" instead of focusing on the person who's struggling. Or they'll say "look at your life, you have so much to live for / you have no reason to be depressed". In reality, the patient is obviously convinced they have no other options: suicide is *always* a last ditch attempt in desperation. Understanding why someone believes that is the first step to helping them find other options; making assumptions or berating them as being "inconsiderate" only makes things worse. Especially since sometimes, people considering suicide believe their death will *help* their loved ones in the long term, and they see it as the ultimate selfless sacrifice by removing their "bad influence" from their loved ones' lives.
I’m not diagnosed with depression but whilst i agree adding exercise and maintaining a healthy diet can relieve stress and bring up the mood, it can’t cure depression. I work out and have a healthy balanced diet and I still mentally feel like shit. The boost I get from working out is quite short lived in my experience.
Depression's become a really awkward mental illness along with anxiety/social anxiety because of the internet. There've been far too many people self-diagnosing with both and as such there are also too many people being "cured" by mild activities leading to them claiming they'll fix everyone's depression. Depression is a massive spectrum of people who can't wash, eat, or get out of bed to people who go to work, exercise, socialise, and participate in life the way they would be expected to but the entire time feel nothing but fatigue, emptiness and hopelessness without any enjoyment for a long stretch of time. It's hard to know what to do when you start feeling that way. And it becomes even more hopeless when the internet is full of "go do some exercise" "eat healthy" etc etc but you try those things and they either make you feel worse, feel tired, or do nothing.
I wish the one describing depression said how it feels, not just the actions someone does when they're depressed, telling someone I'm so exhausted and sensitive that all I can do is lay in bed all day with the lights dimmed or off because even the light is overwhelming is different than just telling someone people sleep or lay in bed all day in a dark room when they're depressed, the latter you have to assume the reasons why they're doing it, they don't know what depression feels like so most likely they'll assume wrong
The videos like “get cured in seconds” seems so out of reality. I also agree with the last 2 ones, especially the penultimate. Things like getting out of bed, basic hygiene, eating can seem hard to do. And for me the comment about not returning calls or texting is so accurate 😅 it’s not about the other people, but myself. I wish it would exists a “get cured in 50 seconds” method, though 😂 🙌 Good vibes to everyone, you can do this! You are important!
The discussion about journaling is also present if you go into your social media and read back old tweets from months or years ago. There are times where I look back at stuff I typed (or even comments I made on RUclips videos like this) that I no longer remember making, and I often find that I say to myself "wow, if I didn't see direct proof that I made this comment/tweet, I'd have NO clue I did it these days. Wild!"
As someone who has been diagnosed with clinical depression since 6 and at this time and now 31. My opinion is that sometimes you cannot fix someone. Yes there are those who might benefit from medication or those that would benefit from other suggestions. I have been ran through was the psychiatric treatment and have never gotten better I have had almost every psychiatric drug Force down my throat from 6 to 18 and I do mean forced. I didn't want them I didn't like how they made me feel I didn't like what the medication did to my body so I said no my nose would be clamped I would be held down in the drugs would be forcefully shoved down my throat. After all of that turning 18 I had control of my treatment I tried meditation I tried homeopathic treatment to solve some of my psychiatric issues and at this point in time I do not believe that there is a fix for my problems. Like I said some may benefit from all the different psychiatric treatment that is available whether it be Western medical treatment or homeopathic. I do think that a lot of people also need to accept the fact that sometimes there is no fix there is no curing a person of their problem sometimes it's like a disease that no amount of medication no amount cream no amount of love no amount of treatment will actually cure or even maintain the disease or the problem.
I also got my diagnosis at the same age as you I’m 20 now and I’ve been able to accept it as well as another diagnosis. It’s just something that I’ll have to live with
I believe there is a different diagnosis for a depression that is always present. I think it's called dysthymia. It might not have a cure, but it might be easier to bear with certain drugs. About eating healthy e exercise, well, they help almost any health condition. I do hope you can find some comfort.
My interpretation of something with high vibrations are when something is healthy for the body, and very much connected to all of the people and ecosystem making the product. Even the people shipping the product. Lots of loving intention and being present throughout the entire process of creation. It could also be something gifted with lots of loving intentions/ compassionate empathy.
Oh and symbolic aspects play a role in vibrations. Your coat, for example, has a lot of really high vibrations because of the historical/social background and intention of the patches and the patches themselves. I think the word vibrations help people keep explanations short in a pinch or also helps people who don’t have the words to explain certain things, a bit of liberation from censorship.
I loved your Taylor Swift reactions. Would be awesome to see you react to Anti-Hero and Would've, Could've, Should've. I find the self awareness of Anti-Hero fascinating, and the emotional expressiveness of Would've Could've Should've is incredible.
I just found your channel and I think you are amazing, I love how you are debunking myths or wrong ideas about depression. As someone who battled depression for a long time, it is really overwhelming having all these people say that it is so easy to cure it, like tending a scratch. I’ve been wondering if you are going to talk about ADHD. I’ve noticed this new tendency, particularly in TikTok, where people are romanticizing ADHD or even misguiding people about it. I’ve been clinically diagnosed with ADHD and I find it quite troubling the way people get the wrong idea about it; mainly because there is this sudden surge of people thinking they have ADHD or they self-diagnose, therefore adding to the already increasing pile of misinformation and even stereotyping it. Anyway, I love your channel.
Not being your most authentic self does not cause depression. I have a chronic clinical diagnosis of depression. I have been living out and loud about who and what I am for 5 years now. If that was all it took to fix me I would not have depression today but I do.
Idk what in the world high vibrational foods are but my parents insist that healthy diets can cure things like my allergies and depression and anxiety. They’ve looked at a lot of scientific websites and my dad is a total food geek ever since a sibling of mine got type 1 diabetes, and while I’m sure a healthy diet could HELP some things, um. Mama, eating my veggies isn’t going to magically cure my ADHD. Father, eating red meat isn’t going to stop my allergies. Buddy we are literally surrounded by the plant I’m second most allergic to. And the fact that my mom thinks that ADHD is a food problem is just a prime indicator that she does not even begin to understand ADHD. It’s genuinely so frustrating. My dearest parents whom I love with all my heart and soul, it’s NOT THAT EASY. My dearest father, just because you might’ve had ADHD as a kid and did okay in school doesn’t mean that I’m having the same experience as you did. My dearest mother, eating vegetables is very likely NOT going to completely REWIRE MY BRAIN. GAH.
Could you cover TikToks on ASD? My friend told me that they're becoming bigger, that more people are identifying with ASD despite not having formal diagnoses, and that someone he knows is making content on it, and I'd be interested to get your insights :)
Here’s how to cure depression in five seconds. Stop being depressed. This cure also works with heart attacks, stop having a heart attack. I was stuffing chips into my mouth when I was watching this video. I felt called out.
Needs to be a serious review on 'cures, guarentees' claims etc. There are so many people desperately trying to overcome their barriers, seeking help to improve their lives, and the charlatans are ready 😢😢
Saying outlandish and simple things gets attention, that's why these misinformed people can go viral. It's painful watching these clips for the first time as a fellow therapist. They might have some good points but the framing of it is so unhelpful. Thank you for at least including those last two clips.
Well They talk in why that makes them seem smart but when you know anything about the Topic you can see how silly they sound. Like Exercise hormones can really depend on the Type of exercise and the intensity of it.
Wait if you go read it a week later it'll only bring the thoughts back like omg I thought this why did I think this way God I'm so Crazy. Ughhhh. I don't recommend doing this
My question is this. If there is nothing you can do the help someone with depression,why should anyone waste their time and drain their energy for someone else?

As a person with depression, thank you for this ❤
How does this have so little attention? I smell underrated!

"you can't guarantee anything in this world"
Higher vibrational food=healthy food
Seemed really clear to me.

1:16 bros going to be shaking in his boots when he realizes what smiling depression is

Other than being healthy, the rest of those things have no bearing on whether a food will help your mental health or not.
Omg! You are wonderful! Bring sense into these Tik Toks!❤️❤️

I adore how balanced ur perspectives are : )

Oh, and on the topic of depression specifically, I’ve had that too. And 99% of these tiktoks are hilariously insane.
Could you cover TikToks on ASD? My friend told me that they're becoming bigger, that more people are identifying with ASD despite not having formal diagnoses, and that someone he knows is making content on it, and I'd be interested to get your insights :)
The first clip really got me upset early in morning 😭
Here’s how to cure depression in five seconds. Stop being depressed. This cure also works with heart attacks, stop having a heart attack. I was stuffing chips into my mouth when I was watching this video. I felt called out.
By "high vibrational food" she means organic healthy food
What about conventional healthy food? It's much cheaper and equally nutritious.
Honestly…. The only guarantee in life is that you can’t guarantee anything 😂
Needs to be a serious review on 'cures, guarentees' claims etc. There are so many people desperately trying to overcome their barriers, seeking help to improve their lives, and the charlatans are ready 😢😢
i walk by this sign alot on the street that says you can cure your depression without meds but with prayer.
...ew.

Me: I have depression.
Someone: Meditate.
Me: Good idea!
My ADHD: Lol *nope.*
it would be amazing if you reacted to the umbrella academy
...although there are people who heal your depression by improving their family life, health and environment/relationships. It depends on the person.
I would love if you react to Dahmer´s Netflix Series!
I’m no therapist but the worse part of depression is denying you are..
Wait if you go read it a week later it'll only bring the thoughts back like omg I thought this why did I think this way God I'm so Crazy. Ughhhh. I don't recommend doing this
Chocolate milk makes all the pain go away lol
Awesome
What's the difference between cancer and no cancer? Not having cancer. Just don't have cancer, duh 🤷
I would never pay 2 seconds of my attention to any of these losers who probably don't even know what depression feels like. this was funny tho XD
My question is this. If there is nothing you can do the help someone with depression,why should anyone waste their time and drain their energy for someone else?
Omg I want to watch this video but the videos she’s reacting to are so cringey I can’t watch it
