Welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s episode, I speak with Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Stacie Boyer. Stacie specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
On today’s episode, Stacie specifically speaks about depression. She explains what depression is, the difference between depression and sadness, and how long you must be experiencing depressive symptoms before getting a diagnosis.
I believe this is one of my most important episodes. Many people struggle with depression and don’t know when or how to seek help. Stacie covers this in-depth.
Stacie explains why mental health services and mental health illnesses are still so stigmatized and what you can do to help break the stigma.
Along with key information about depression, Stacie also discusses many coping tools and techniques you can incorporate into your life to help alleviate some depressive symptoms.
If you or a loved one is struggling with what you think maybe depression or depressive symptoms, then you don’t want to miss this important episode.
