I think i have depression, I get sad a lot, have a low mood and aversion to activity!
That's too bad! I have been depressed before. Are you doing anything to combat it?
Well I think I might have seasonal affective disorder, I sleep so much and have little engergy
Gotcha! I didn't know that sleeping too much was related to a type of depression. Is depression common?
Well I think it falls under a lot of mood disorders like mania, hypomania, and depressed mood which are all researched alot
Right. Yeah I have heard of several of those before, specifically manic depression. I think its important for depressed people to get help.
I heard the cognitive behavioral therapy is widely used and focuses on coping strategies
That's good! Yes, coping strategies should be implemented. It can be hard for people to focus on the positives in times of depression.
A lot of problems come back to self blame putting the stressful events onto yourself.
