Depression is said to be the silent killer. While we, as a species, have gotten a lot better at discussing the things that get us down, we still have a long way to go. How do you cope with prolonged sadness that robs the wind for your sails? And what’s the relationship with anxiety and constant worrying?
On this episode, we talk about dark clouds and black dogs. Depression, sadness, loneliness and anxiety. It’s a good job we have a psychotherapist on the team to sort the wood from the trees.
