I was diagnosed with clinical depression in 1970, but experienced it long before that. I've been hospitalized twice, had over a dozen ECT sessions (bilateral -- resulting in amnesia from which I've never completely recovered, but I was able to reconstitute some memories by reading my own journal, which was like reading somebody else's!). I agree with everything you say here. Glad you've received so much benefit from reading, and here's hoping others viewing this video will profit, too. Best wishes from Midwest USA.
Keep going Razu! I have been going through a difficult time the past couple of years too. Not that it has passed, but, something like reading , which I never thought I would ever do, has definitely resonated as a habit with whatever you've said and helped me push through.
This was a good video. My favorite book is The Grapes of Wrath, which touches on a lot of political and social issues. It really highlights the good and bad of humanity. I don't think it's a good book to escape your reality, but it definitely helped me empathize more with people.
Ah, thanks for this, I have a very similar story. I also write & vlog about this. It's so important, isn't it? I have really enjoyed discovering your channel.
