Dr. Geoff talks about working with depression. It’s a difficult subject, and while most of us experience some form of depression in our lives, the most common form of depression may not really be depression at all; rather it could simply be sadness. If someone at work experiences a loss, we could be effected by this, and experience sadness.
The most important thing to do with this is to process the depression, which turns out to be a repeated thought loop. The best thing to do is to cut the loop of thoughts. Talk about the day, share what’s happening. That can often release the depression. Another big thing that can be done is to exercise. Just being active sets the brain going in a different direction and lets depression drop away.
