It’s one of the best descriptions we’ve ever heard for depression:
It is a parasite.
Depression saps your energy, so you feel more lethargic,
which makes you not do things, which makes you feel more guilty, which makes you feel more depressed.
Rinse and repeat.
Ad nauseam.
Today’s guest, Dr. Robert Duff uses that metaphor to begin today’s episode.
Duff is a psychologist and author. His specialty is taking complex psychological issues
and breaking them down into plain language.
He offers us some interesting and doable techniques to help manage depression.
