Depression is not a disorder of the brain, but a disorder of the relationship with thoughts and feelings.
Feeling weighed down by depression and wary of medication? You're not alone. In this thought-provoking episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Dr. Steven Hayes, the author of 'A Liberated Mind'. Together, they tackle the pressing issue of treating depression without relying on antidepressants. Dr. Hayes sheds light on the often-overlooked side effects and challenges of coming off these medications, making a compelling case for alternative treatments.
One of the highlights is Dr. Hayes' deep dive into cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). He explains how CBT can help individuals observe their thoughts and feelings from a distance, offering a fresh perspective on managing depression. It's not just about thinking differently; it's about aligning your actions with your values and finding a sense of purpose. Dr. Hayes also touches on the importance of social connections and how your environment can influence your mental health.
He introduces micro techniques and perspective-taking exercises that can make a big difference in daily life. Imagine being able to shift your mindset with small, actionable steps—it's powerful stuff. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with depression or supporting someone who is. It offers practical, values-based strategies to reclaim your mental well-being without the need for medication. Tune in to discover how you can take control of your mental health and live a more meaningful life.
