321 “Weak? Quite the Opposite!”
Manage episode 435181580 series 1391678
A psychiatrist who has treated more than 3,000 people with depression, says it's time to re-frame how we characterize, treat and view people with depression.
The current way is not only stigmatizing and potentially dangerous, but flat-out wrong in his experience.
In fact, Dr. Tim Cantopher says he views depression as "the curse of the strong!"
Cantopher writes: "It's strong people who are most vulnerable to it (depression); people whose standards are high, whose ethics are powerful, who want their lives to be meaningful. Strong people, like you."
