Ginger Zee is the chief meteorologist at Good Morning America and ABC News. She predicts the weather for a living-but mental health is not as easy to predict. Ginger has coped with depression, substance use, narcolepsy, and trauma-but growing up, she didn’t understand why she felt the way she felt. She didn’t receive a diagnosis until adulthood.
In this enlightening conversation, Ginger sheds light on what it was like growing up with undiagnosed mental health symptoms; she shares how she overcame the “labels” many of us subconsciously use to limit ourselves and those we love; she highlights how her relationships with others have grown thanks to her dedication to therapy; and much more.

@@theoldsoul1996 Thanks for supporting mental health education!
Thank you both for bringing the taboo inti the light. So many of us can benefit from support and real tricks and tips. Succes with the book.

@@MedCircle I posted few videos on this channel on how people got out of depression, please feel free watch it and share it with you clients, if it can help someone to come out of depression is something.
Tough when you don’t have a community of people around you. Struggling with employment, etc etc
hope everything gets better for you :)
What you want to BE when you grow up? I want to be kind, compassionate, loving, whatever. What do you want to DO when you grew up? I want to work as a doctor, a lawyer, firefighter, etc. Do you guys see the difference?!
Love it.
I guess having a job where you can help people and have good morals is what the world needs :)
I'm amazed that Ginger suffers from depression. I thought she was rather perfect. She is so energetic and exercises so much - she must use it as a tool. I struggle with lack of energy that exercise is my albatross that I have to work myself up to each day. Many days I just can't. That is awesome she has come so far, my depression has interfered a few times in my career.
Sleep Hygiene needs to be taught to kids starting at an early age...please...very important 👏 👌
true :)
How right you are it really needs to be taught
Ginger you are courageous and helping so many people! When we see someone we deem successful and admire them, it’s wonderful and reinforces our ability to do the same. Face depression and continue our goal to learn about ourselves and accept what we see in the mirror. Love to you sweetie!
I have managed to push just about everyone away.
I'm always on self distruct
I also have Narcolepsy and have had it most of my life, but was only diagnosed with it in 2003 at aged 23. I was also diagnosed with depression, anxiety and BPD. I was brought up in a violent household where my dad used to be nasty to my mum, brother and myself. I'm more than positive that is why I struggle with mental health issues now. A lot of mental health issues is definitely down to your upbringing. More should be done for children with issues to prevent them becoming worse as an adult.
I hope and pray that everything gets better for you and that your life is ultimately improved for the better and that you have peace of mind :)
I hope this for your family too :)
@@aneeqamalik417 thank you for your kind words. 🙏
2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I personally experienced how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️
To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life.
"Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15)
Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS.
Hi Ginger! Thanks for sharing your story. So tired of people shoving mental health issues under the rug. Recognizing depression in our families of origin also helps us teach coping mechanisms to our children at a young age.
The part where she talked about the times when she can’t recognize the face she sees in the mirror hits me. Most of the time I feel like I have 2 versions of myself - one that is well and one that is not.
I’m 48 with narcolepsy and severe depression. I felt different at age 6. Undiagnosed until 20s. No one has treated me with success. 🙏❤️
Same here. My current therapist just doesn't get it. I am to the point of asking him: How do I make lemonade? How do I just learn to live with it?" You might want to try the same.
hello i will really recommend u and everyone else reading this..vipassana meditation.vipassana truly helps us with our depression and makes us much happier person and vipassana is really life changing..depression is related to mind and only when we remove our negative thoughts from the mind only then the depression goes away.and vipassana will go to the depths of the mind and help us remove the depression from its roots..do surely try vipassana once

#gingerzee I also have narcolepsy. I'm from West Michigan and miss you being on our local news. Thank you for bringing awareness on these topics
Loved it, somehow I feel motivated to finally make an appointment with psychologist . I've been putting that off for way too long. Thank you ❤️
Kyle - you are so refreshing, excellent interviewer and getting the best from the guest always. Love the content. ☘️🇮🇪
I just subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago. Ginger Zee is my absolute favorite meteorologist. I love how honest she is about her struggles which makes me adore her even more. Thank you so much for having her on your show
I love how open Ginger Zee is about this. It’s so appreciated by many of us in our age group. I also am a fan of Ginger talking about having narcolepsy as I also have narcolepsy. I wish I could determine if it is narcolepsy or depression sometimes. It’s hard to know at times.
I thin it is important to find at least one thing you can do solo that you enjoy and make time to do. When I plan something with someone else, we have to match schedules. It's nice to be with friends; but, if they cancel or forget or whatever that can be a huge hit to my self esteem. So find something you enjoy that you can do by yourself.
Hi Ginger! I can't believe someone as darling as you gets depression! You are DARLING. Trust me!
Bless you Ginger!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏❤❤
So on point: you feel like you are two poeple, or even three - different somebody for different grouops of people
I disagree, however, on not blaming parents part: blame is simply putting the respinsibility where it belongs. By blaming your parents you acknowledge that you didn't play a part in forming your dysfunction and pain, this responsibility is solely on them. Plus, because of parents' abuse children become vulnerable for later abuses in their lives: as kids and as adults, because abused children/adult children are an easy prey for of all abusers; or such abused children/adult children themselves become abusers.
You cannot properly heal if you take responsibility about something that you have nothing to do with: our parents make us who we are, unfortunately. My mom was also a volcano, a monster. She ruined my life, she destroyed my psyche beyond repair, she crushed my soul, since I was an infang I've been living in a constant state of terror. I knew nothing wojld stop her rages, she would always find something to rage about, and she would always find how to blame me for her rage. All I could do, all I was forced to do was weight for another rage event. Multiple times a day, every single day. The only thing that has taught me was that life itself hates me and that there is no such thing as safety, it has taught me that I will never be safe. It has taught me to constantly wait for another devastating storm because it will sure come, and there is no shelter from it. I've never been grateful for being alive. Since I was 5, I've been wishing to have never been born, I've lived my whole life (and still do) with the hope that I wouldn't wake up when I go to sleep, and I have no resilience. And as I look back now, as I have gained the knowledge of neuroscience, developmental psychopathology, and psychological trauma, I see that I have my mother to "thank" for all my self-worthlessness, for constant sense of terror, dread and shame. And even this cognitive knowledge and understanding still doesn't change how I feel, unfortunately. Emotionally disregulated, emotionally immature, and abusive parents ruin their children and are despicable human beings. They refuse to take the respinsibility for and acknowledge the damage they have done, they don't want to be blamed, yet they blame and accuse their children relentlessly.
So I started believing in a lot less popular approach of Pete Walker, when it comes to blaming, forgiving, and distancing one's self from their parents, family and relatives:
1. Yes, DO BLAME your parents, it is healthy.
2. No, you do not have to forgive them.
3. Yes, it might even be healthy to become estranged with them in order to avoid painful triggers because your parents are, most likely, the most painful triggers. Also, if it takes a lot of energy for you to manage your sense of unease in the presence of your parents - the healthiest thing might be to just get them out of your life.
You don't owe anything to your parents, no child does. And if your parents think their children do owe them - well, they shouldn't have been parents in a first place. A child doesn't owe a parent for being born or raised, because a child didn't ask and didn't chose to be born.
The only respinsibility you have now is healing. Only you are responsible for your healing now, not your parents. But for what happened to you and what you've become - that's on your parents.
@@Berlynic I was thinking variations of everything you wrote here while listening to this woman speak just now and then I went into the comments and saw this. Her words are triggering for all the reasons you say...I'm glad I'm far enough into my healing process that I can call out her bullsh*t. It has me contemplating (yet again) just how sick our society is with concepts of forgiveness and "perfectly imperfect" parents...It's enabling and borderline narcissistic because we're excusing dysfunctional behavior in others and in ourselves.
I agree with everything you wrote here and appreciated reading it. I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Thank you.
Great discussion. Thank you.
#GingerZee is our girl! We love you, sister!!
I find the more I share the better I feel the easier it is to say the more I feel at home inside my own body.
What a lovely woman. Great talk. Some good insights.
Love this! Thank you ❤️
Bless this wonderful being! ❤
BRAVO 🙌 🎊 🎉 Great interview.
can't wait to watch it
Thank you for sharing!
Toxic people around us, nutritional deficiencies(Lack of B vitamins, iodine, D3, magnesium, etc,..)
lack of love & proper support as growing up are all causes of childhood depression.
Great interview !!
Children need fun and support. My grandsons 7 yr. Whatever he does I say wow you really enjoyed that didn't you. When he draws I say. ..tell me about your picture. All they need is your interest in their little lives.
I loved this- and, this helped.
Ginger you are a wonderful person I will pray for you
Yes I did feel different, I thought I was god's especial child, I was born to help those who are suffering Cox I would attract the sufferings so deeply that I would loose my sleep for days and felt paralysingly hurt....
I did not see that as depression at that time, but a very sensitive and kind and a special person. After 25 years or so I got diagnosed as having long term depression Nd it totally makes sense.
She reminds me of JLo with Blue Eyes
Hi from NY I have had epilepsy and depression all my life. Had left temporal lobe and hippocampus surgery. My seizures are controlled now, but my dr said the depression will continue to get worse. 😟
I’m thinking that as they are saying…your Doctor has planted a seed in your thoughts.
Now every time you feel depressed what could make you feel worse but to think this will never get better but worse?
Instead continue to seek support when you are experiencing depression but leave open the thought that you could very well have freedom and a happy life because you make it that way.

I watched because I’m having a terrible period of time. Why could I not grasp the thread of this today🙁
Indeed Ginger!
She has such beautiful eyes!!!!
Amazing interview! Do you happen to know her therapist's theoretical approach? Im thinking Gestalt but could just be her therapist style. I am loving this type of no b.s therapy. I know its not for everyone but I think I can use that type of approach.
I'm still undiagnosed but have been battling sever mental health issues and childhood trauma, depression and anxiety and drug addiction. Suicidal thoughts and tendencys. I need help but how do I even talk to the doctor's as I don't even know were to start as I struggle to open up and I'm not good with emotions as I show no emotions as I guess u could say I come across cold sometimes no empathy
I need help, I wrote my goodbye suicidal note to my family last night just in case
and i have no idea how to deal with this stuff half my childhood is blank as I have a memory blank and I can't unlock the memory's
Pls seek help do not hurt yourself
@@batgirl327 I am going to seek help this week as I have spinal and nerve damage to my back so my heavy medication I take actually increases my depression and suicidal thoughts as it's a side affect of meds. It's terrible experience I wish no one would ever feel like that sitting there writing a good by letter and then started crying
@@theoldsoul1996 i have cptsd and inused to supress all my pain n dark thoughts.but talking to a friend who is just there even to listen helps a lot.believe me.i had suicide attempts since i was in my 20s now i realized n i am in my 40s now.talk to someone close to you n yes you need to seek help.again do not hurt yourself.you are very special.and unique.n u deserve better.
I’m 67…grew up in a very unstable dysfunctional home.
I didn’t start therapy until about 8 years ago…but let me tell you it saved me from misery!
My life was so miserable because of all the pain and shame and guilt I carried along with me everyday!
The stigma of having mental health issues was so hard to overcome then, but now it is being recognized and accepted as a fact of life…sometime life is hard and we NEED help to live it.
I wouldn’t worry about what to talk about, therapists are trained to ask the right questions.
They will help you there.
I will say that you may have to try a couple of therapists before you find the right one or right fit.
I tried 4 before finding one I’ve been with for 5 years, but I learned something from each one of them along the way…it wasn’t a waste of time.
You are in pain and you can get help to get out of it!
You deserve to live a more peaceful life and it can happen.
Many thoughts and prayers for you…you are soooo important!
I would love to know what Ginger does for her narcolepsy. I feel like I have tried it all and none helped. And wow it’s like she’s describing me when I look at myself in a mirror. Who am I and what are my feelings about things? No idea.
There should be a me-too of mental health issues. Then we will see there are gazillion people with issues. This will lessen the stigma too.
Yes
This so resonates. I need help. I do have a therapist but he doesn't get it.
Can you change therapist? I think you should if you can
Get a new one!!! Fire him!
R/o bpd. Often comorbid w depression.
Keep pray is help
Amen!
What ring is that? What does it do?
see how ginger on the island reacted to harold heckuba didnt want her
How does one say I have more sadness than you, I feel happier than you can
Who is depressed and who is not- how to diagnose and why diagnose. Feel different than others, it’ll make you strong- I promise you- you are depressed for a reason- you have more potential than others because you feel more- don’t dwell to a waste, so much more …
Talk to a doctor. Start there and keep going
i will recommend u something which will really help u with your Overthinkin and the questions that u have
that is vipassana meditation..vipassana helps us to purify our mind and remove all the negative stuff from the mind from its roots..it will really help u to be a happier person bro am speaking from my own experience..it has helped me also..

Wow...
💔
I have been watching over 50 vdos from this channel. This is the first vdo that I find Kyle seems to pause the guest a lot. I wasn’t sure, was it because of the time crunch issue?
If yes, my apology in advance. But if not, maybe a smoother transition between old and new questions would sounds a lot less harsh.
🥺 🙂
We are only as sick as our secrets ⭐️
Fuse identity did
Keeps you accountable or humble?
Did I hear correctly, your father is your therapist?
Why do people with severe mental illnesses have children to pass these illnesses onto them. Both my parents had depression and anxiety but they never had major depression but they passed it down to my sister and I so it makes me mad that people do that. They are just thinking on what they want by having kids but it's the kids that suffer more from it. I get anger issues about my parents having me and especially late in life. I don't know how to get rid of that anger and resentment.
georgina i perfectly understand ur situation..i know how it can get with family quarrels lots of frustation and anger can come due to fights in the family and i have been through it..there is a way to come out of ur family frustation that u get and not only that theres a way to really purify your mind at the depth level and and that is vipassana meditation..vipassana helps us to purify our mind and helps us to remove the defilements of the mind and the negativity of the mind right from its roots..i have done it my self and such big changes in my life.it has helped me with my family issues i dont get angry or frustated like i used to do before..it.also.helped me a lot with my resentment.and whats more wonderful than living a peaceful life..do surely try Vipassana it will really help u also

You humans and your words
nothing to see here?, then how do you time ?
“Chief meteorologist”🤣😭
This is what I hate about the medical profession. They make up all kinds of stupid illnesses that don't exsist. Undiagnosed depression that's a new one and for Ginger to buy into that is just absurd. If you are depressed trust me you will know it.
Kyle looks just like actor Dermott Mulroney.
how do u know what you generally beleive or want statement hit me like a ton of bricks
You don't need drugs to get yourself into a meditative state. In fact, being on drugs will never bring you into meditation because that's not what it does. When you're in true meditation, you're thoughtlessly aware, meaning that you're in the present but have no thoughts. When you're on drugs, you're in delusion and/or are completely unaware of yourself, & you'll have many thoughts.
Pretty people don't get depression
She is a meteorologist, not a psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist or medical doctor. Don't know why she is interviewed other than promoting her book.
She's trying to bring an awareness to depression it can happen to anyone and are things to look for.✌🏽
I see nothing wrong with promoting her book. Why begrudge her experience if it is helpful.? Every one of us has bills to pay. Talking or writing about experiences brings people closer and is GOOD for mental health.
@@23angelpie No, it's not. You also wouldn't buy a book about back injuries from an author who is a plumber and has no expertise.🤦
@@mirabella2154 Great analogy! Actually my DR. did recommend share his plumbing experience and recommended a great plumber. So sharing information is good.maybe her book will help some people - but some people not so much. good luck hope you find what you are needing. Peace , Namaste, God bless. what ever you are into- You asked why she was interviewed that is just my opinion. Take it or leave it.I was just trying to bring awareness/ help, not argue. .Hope you Have a good day.
Jesus Christ can permanently heal depression
Yes!!!! Often times through medication and counselors !
