- Jon G. Allen, PhD, senior staff psychologist at The Menninger Clinic, talks about depression and the challenges that the symptoms pose to recovery. Janice Poplack, LCSW, director of Social Work, hosts this podcast.
Thank you for your work. I have lived a lifetime of depression and anxiety disorders, combined with a diagnosed PTSD, and know that it's survival, and lots of work. After many years of therapy, I don't react the way I once did, have a fuller and more fulfilling life, and still work on it every day. A professional, much like your presentation, helped me to understand. It takes a therapist one can relate to and respect to make the inroads, so I'd tell anyone out there searching to remember that just because you don't connect with one therapist, don't stop trying... keep working.
Thank you for helping me. I enjoy your help.
"If pervasively anxious you avoid everything" (and mostly everyone I would add).
Great information.
It’s almost like we need different words for temporary depression as feeling down and major depression
I love this. I want so badly to come to Menninger Clinic.
Medication treats the symptoms of depression. Then you can do the things (actions) necessary for recovery (with the help of talk therapy).
Dear Dr Allen, bravo and thank you. Great video! best, drfw, Geneva , Switzerland
Jon G. Allen, PhD, senior staff psychologist, explains the dilemma those with depression often experience. He's interviewed about "the catch-22s of depression" by Janice Poplack, LCSW, director of Social Work.
Therapy helps you with the problems contributing to depression i.e. relationship problems, etc.
my parents are at each end of "the tight rope"... how ironically depressing...
Is there depression within native tribes? Are there examinations about this topic? For maybe you move to such a place to get peace in your head.
Fed up. I can't shake that comment. 🤨
Depresyon ile ile ilgili bilgilendirici bir video bi bakın derim.
I don’t know it strikes me that the catch 22s are actually a solipsism. Maybe this is all more revealing of the fact that the symptomology of so-called “depression“ is actually not a useful therapeutic category.
The comments at 1044 really piss me off. They are victim blaming. He should have stated how its often the family that are the CAUSE of the persons depression. Not talk about how hard it is for the poor family. That the family need to change their behaviour/abuse instead of calling them 'saints' for having to 'put up' with the bothersome depressed person. Way to invalidate people experiencing depression, make depressed people feel even worse about themselves and less able to protect themselves from abusive family. Shame on you
Why don't you list the names of those you have helped to heal and insights thereof so that the stories may be helpful to others, instead of posing authoritatively in front of a camera boasting fancy theories just like the display of a cuttlefish before pouncing on a prey, which only serves to enrich yourselves.
As one of those people who Dr. Allen has helped heal, I can attest to the efficacy of his expertise. I spent most of my life suffering from major depression, in spite of numerous therapists and trials of antidepressants. I thought I was way beyond hope, had desperately tried to commit suicide, and was mandated to an inpatient facility.
If not for Dr. Allen and the Menninger Clinic's staff and methodology, I would not be alive today and able to give back to others (I now peer-facilitate a depression support group and work with inpatients at an acute mental health facility). He may appear "fancy," but trust me...he knows what he is talking about.
How would you like to be on that list? Would you really expect any Dr to do that?
Excellent point. Psychologists are not allowed to just give out the names of patients. Nor would a competent psychologist ever want to.
WTF!!! for over 20 years not a single fucking the-rapist told me that I had PTSD. If you were not allowed to give names of your patients, weren't you allowed to give names of a disease? Keeping the patient in the dark and get the $120/hr rate for as long as possible.
