This talk helped me enormously. Very clear and concise outline of how to understand the root cause of depression and why it can become so much worse as we grow older and more and more difficult events happen. I have been depressed recently because my best friend committed suicide a month ago. I have all the symptoms. I have felt helpless against it, and tired of trying. I see the depression is overwhelming because my baby sister died when I was a child, and no one in the family was permitted to grieve. Since the suicide my whole life view of myself and my world are negative, and I want to withdraw. I am afraid. I feel ashamed for feeling sad, yet this is a normal reaction to a traumatic death. I will be starting therapy in a month and will journal until then and reach out as much as I can. Thank you!
