DEPRESSION 101: Long-Term Strategies, Managing Relapse & Building An "Antidepressant Lifestyle"
Depression CureShow Notes
For the season finale of our four-part series on depression, we've decided to focus on the long-game: the strategies, practices and lifestyle choices we can deploy to not only get out of a depressive rut, but also prevent and manage future episodes. This episode covers a lot of ground, including: - The power of creating a written plan - Outsourcing decision-making/willpower to a system - The importance of social connection & accountability - Building routines/structures to pull you through the day - Anti-inflammatory foods and supplements to add to your diet - Why you should consider establishing a "screen-free-zone" - Superpowers associated with depression - And how to build enough momentum to spiral upwards
Thank you so much for all the love and feedback around this series so far. It's our sincere hope that these episodes end up being "the missing piece of the puzzle" (as one listener put it) in your fight against depression. It is not easy. It will never be easy. But it is worth it — for you, the people around you and the people coming behind you. Keep going, keep fighting and thank you for joining us on this journey. — Steve & Hew
