Thanks for this kind of content it truly has helped me
I personally struggle with many mental illnesses ( including depression)
Your videos is one of the reasons that make me fell okay with them and not beat my self . Thanks!
Can’t tell you how much this means to me
I noticed that a trigger to depression is helplessness, feeling desperate we don't have control of the situation.
Crafting a small very short project helps to lower the focus on the lost control. Having an object growing, building up and finished is a joy.
And definitely CHANGING ENVIRONMENT!
I can tell about how changing environment once for all can contribute to lower the mental load, the mentalised expectations that can get harassing, and finally breath naturally.
Never underestimate the power of discarding toxic patterns, handcrafting and acknowledging that something you didn't wish for just happened.
Good luck guys.
I am not cured yet, but I live definitely a better inner life now.
I just got back from the hospital because I was suffering with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) , tactile, auditory, and visual hallucinations, severe depression, and some others. I am just getting back to my normal routine. I go back to school on Monday, and I'm hoping that what you say is true, because I'm almost losing hope in therapy. But I'm trying to stay strong, and I try to remember to stay strong so I can make the world a better place for the future generations.
Stay strong, people are counting on you.
Hello I’m a teenager who earlier today witnessed someone commit suicide by jumping under a train..
the reason I’m here is that I’m asking if you could give me some sort of tips or something to help me get over the trauma because I’m already an anxious person but this has made it skyrocket even more… thank you
Microdosing mushrooms has been proven to be helpful in depression stimming from PTSD and cptsd. It is said to heal these "broken" pathways. I hope it becomes more.mainstream so more people can be helped.
(Microdosing means you take such a small amount that it you don't trip or anything )
I love this ❤ it’s so true. I was written off as “hormonal” from the moment I turned 13. And was slapped with a prescription for SSRI’s but no coping techniques or therapy. I still take SSRIs in small dose, but therapy has truly been a game changer. Turns out I was also ADD. Didn’t find that out until I was 28.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Hearing it this way is helping me understand myself a little better. I’m 12 and have been struggling with depression for almost a year now, but I never thought about more scientific side of how it takes over the brain. Your channel motivates me to just go another day on some hard days🤍
Hmmmm.....there is hope❤
I love you so much and all you do but I will throw hands for depotting that plant
Great message!
Could you please do a video about PTSD?
Love this description!!! I'm going to use this with my patients!!! ♥️♥️♥️
How do I tell my parents that I really need medication for my mental illnesses because nothing else is working, but they don't believe in meds?
I would only take medications if it's very severe mental health issues. Like all medical treatments, there are risks and benefits. I was on psychiatric medication for 5 years. All I have to say about it is that it has A LOT of side effects with some that are debilitating and they don't just go away after a few days. It can be long term. I no longer take medication anymore because of those risks and I don't see medication as being a viable long term solution to mental health.
Generally, you don't want to take medication for anything if you don't have to. All medication have side effects but some are safer than others. I don't consider psychiatric medication as safe. Drugs like advil, tylenol, yeah they're very safe for the most part.
Maybe investigate foods or supplements that offer some safe alternatives. I’m sorry your folks aren’t able to support you as you choose. You don’t mention your age but keep looking at ways to support your mental health. Also remember- this is social media and no one can offer anything but an opinion. So keep doing your own investigations and take care of you.
May I ask? Do your parents not believe in taking medication because of just personal opinion,or is it because of religion ? Just asking because your approach to talk to them will depend on some things! Have you been diagnosed by a health care professional yet? Have your parents ever spoken to anyone who has to take medications to stay alive every day? Or a doctor or nurse who can verify that meds are very real and help tremendously with therapy for combating mental illnesses?
Sending hugs and lots of hope.
I’d try calling your state info line if your in the states (like in my state, 211 is our info line to find resources through out the state). You explain your situation,and the operator will give you every resource available to help you. Never give up. Your worth fighting for! Never forget that!
@@maureenjossick429 so I actually managed to talk to them, and we went to my doctor the other day. The doctor recommended an antidepressant for me, and I'll start taking it in a couple days. Thanks for your support!
As someone with smiling depression and other mental disorders, thank you.
Wow. This message helps me understand a loved one.
Keep up the good work! I love watching your videos.
Can you talk more about ketamine treatments for treatment resistant depression and research into psilocybin analogs as depression treatments?
Hey Dr. Goodman! Idk if u will see this but I was wondering if u wanted to maybe create a discord server, just have it as a safe space where ppl can talk abt things on their mind and all that kinda stuff. I figured it might be a useful way to vent for those who, for whatever reason, don't have access to therapy or someone who is willing to listen to them. This is just an idea ofc.
could u maybe do one abt eating disorders..? i struggle with an undiagnosed one and i often wish ppl would recognise it yk. love ur vids btw 💗
Hey Jake, what classes with levels did you take in high school? Or recommend? I'm interested in doing something in the medical field, and I want to know the best classes to take.
Thank You for showing that mental illnesses are medical illnesses , hopefully the stigmas that still exist will get better or will be rid of in the future.
unrealistic for stigmas to disappear for anything. Be realistic. Maybe dialed down but eradicated? that's wishful thinking sorry to say.
I have never experienced 'privledge' for being mentally ill.
Mentally ill people tend to siphon energy off of people. I still plug along and do the best I can. Actually I try to stay invisible most of the time so my
issues are not 'discovered' .
I can compleatly controll my emotions but when i stop the sadness i stop feeling emotions so idk what to do.
Last time i didnt fell a thing until i got close to an girl i seem to like.
Only dow site to this power is sanity levels.
When it gets above 100% i get deep depresion and when its over 170% tesrs por out by themselfes until its back at 140%.
You can guess what i am at if i know this.
Is there a video on scary symptoms of anxiety
Do you have a patron or somewhere we can show our support so you can continue to make these videos?
Hi Jenny :) I don’t have a patreon yet, but I do have Super Thanks set up on my videos now for anyone who wants to contribute to future videos!
Its been 7 years , I feel like Im not healed yet.
When are you going to do a Collab with Dr.mike?
Idk what it is but I really wanted to know....my mind is always telling to do things In a certain way. For eg, if I'm walking it told me not pass the tree and told me to go different side and while picking dress also it happens, and in soany things. I also touch walls often like the beat in my mind should match the touch in walls or else I will do It again. And certain items or things should arrange in a certain way r else I will make sure it does and I feel like it's all become a habit for me to do repetitive things. Please tell me what it is,should I concern!?
Confused by fake Mj looking plant >~> but also satisfied
What about my teenage daughter she lost her Dad two years ago and major depression still
The important phrase was over time, I've had mental health issues since I was around 8 I'm now heading into adulthood with the same issues I had a kid, if anything they got worse.
Last year I started therapy witch helped but due to personal reasons I had to stop
Progress I had made came undone rapidly.
It's gonna take time, patience, and support.
I'm sorry for your loss
Send your daughter a hug from me or a high-five or even just a "hey its gonna be okay"
But get her into some therapy, grief can affect you for years and the death of anyone close to you can be incredibly traumatizing.
It'll take time.
Okay but I think that plant needs to be moved to a bigger pot!
Is getting girlfriend fine way to cure it or i have to go 200 miles for an doctor and pay 2 mounths worth of my earnings?
you mean depression can be 'cured'? As in you will no longer need meds, therapy etc.?
what I don't have is the Human element w others.. Never really have. I sorta have friends but when I see them once a year, or every 2 or 3 years it's just for eating out. Then it's over with for another huge space of time.
How can I stop being depressed without therapy or medicine, also are there any tricks that could help with anxiety. Please I have really bad anxiety and I need some help with it
Yes, there is alot of great reseat on psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis to treat depression and anxiety
Doctor please I want to know it your job make you connect with autism??
Cut those dead roots off and replant in a happy sunny place.
