00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:36.880
professional

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.719
let's begin number one you always feel

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:41.920
tired

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.520
when you wake up are you finding

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.200
yourself feeling drained does this

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.120
feeling seem to last no matter how much

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:48.399
sleep you get

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.680
depression comes with a number of

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.360
physical effects that are often passed

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.800
off as something else

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.879
constant exhaustion is a common physical

00:00:54.879 --> 00:00:56.160
side effect

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.079
even if you sleep a good number of hours

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.160
each night you can never seem to catch

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:01.039
enough rest

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.399
this makes it hard to function during

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.720
the day number two

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:07.920
you're easily irritated and angered does

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.799
it seem like

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.200
everyone gets on your nerves even if

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.479
these people are well-meaning

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:15.280
you can't help but wish they'd go away

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.119
it's not uncommon for depressed people

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:18.640
to foster negative thoughts and feelings

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.320
about the people around them

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:22.320
while we all have those days where we

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:24.080
prefer to keep away from others

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:25.520
if you're noticing that you're pushing

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:27.520
people away more than normal or if a

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.040
friend is withdrawing from others

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.360
it can be a sign of something more

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:32.400
number three

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.880
you have a hard time with emotions how

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:36.400
do you feel right now

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.159
are you able to describe which emotions

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.759
you're experiencing

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:41.759
do you often have periods of time where

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:42.960
you can't

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.680
psychiatrist peter cifios coined the

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.439
term

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.200
alexithymia as being unable to describe

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.399
how you feel

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:52.479
for example while you may notice that

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:53.600
your heart is racing

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:55.280
a normal person would be able to tell if

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:56.880
they're excited or nervous

00:01:56.880 --> 00:01:58.960
easily on the other hand a person with

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:00.719
alexithymia wouldn't be able to

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.799
distinguish if it was fear or excitement

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:03.759
causing it

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:05.119
not knowing your emotions makes it

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:06.880
extremely difficult to know where to

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.560
begin in tackling them

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.920
number four you don't eat or you eat too

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:12.720
much

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:14.319
have you developed different eating

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.080
habits do you find yourself forgetting

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:16.879
to eat or

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.280
are you unable to stop eating you may

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.959
develop chaotic eating habits as a way

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:22.720
to cope with how you're feeling

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:24.560
overeating may be your only source of

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.400
pleasure causing you to lose sight of

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.680
your physical health

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.599
on the other hand you may lose interest

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.680
in food and end up missing meals

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.040
different stressors in your life can

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:34.560
throw off your sense of balance which

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.720
can also affect your eating habits

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:38.959
number five others don't think you look

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:40.800
like a depressed person

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.800
has anyone ever told you that you don't

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.319
seem depressed

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.800
you or they may be accustomed to the

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.560
media's portrayal of what a depressed

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.640
person looks like someone who never

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:51.440
leaves their room

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:52.879
doesn't dress well and always has a

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.200
miserable look while those are clear

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:56.640
signs of the condition

00:02:56.640 --> 00:02:58.239
depression doesn't always appear that

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:00.400
way according to psychotherapist

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.560
jody amen depression affects all

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.519
personalities

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:05.200
and can look very different from person

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:07.519
to person people depression can suffer

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:08.959
in silence too

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:10.959
these are people that can perform tasks

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:12.239
towards their goals and do their

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:13.280
day-to-day tasks

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.920
but still have lost their spark and

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:16.879
number six

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.480
you find it hard to put a smile on your

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.879
face but you still do

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.280
do you try to mask yourself as a happy

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.159
person

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:25.680
even if you don't feel that way deep

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.760
inside many people who experience

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:30.000
depression conceal it behind a smile

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.480
depression can be quiet on the outside

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:35.440
but extremely painful inside for some

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:37.200
while others display their symptoms more

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:38.560
outwardly

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.239
having an honest conversation with a

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:41.760
mental health professional or someone

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:42.400
you trust

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.640
should be a top priority even if you

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:46.000
worry about burdening others

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.400
appearing weak or feeling vulnerable

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.319
confronting and processing your emotions

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:51.840
with others is a great first step to

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.200
recovery

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:55.200
it's difficult to deal with depression

00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:57.519
