A strengths-based assessment for depression, though, is really important. What does it mean to you to be depressed? We're looking for progress, not perfection.
Feeling weighed down by depression and looking for ways to manage it? This episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast' with Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes is a must-listen. Dr. Snipes dives deep into understanding depression, breaking down its causes and offering practical strategies to prevent and intervene. Depression isn't just a feeling; it's a cluster of symptoms stemming from a neurochemical imbalance in the brain. This imbalance can be triggered by various factors, including emotional, cognitive, physical, interpersonal, and environmental influences. Dr.
Snipes emphasizes the importance of a strengths-based approach, helping individuals recognize what they're already doing right to combat their symptoms. She explores the biopsychosocial model, which looks at all contributing factors and acknowledges their interconnected nature. Relationships can become strained when people don't understand how to deal with depression, and those with bipolar disorder might feel broken and struggle with self-esteem. Dr.
Snipes shares actionable strategies like improving sleep quality, practicing deep breathing, managing anger and guilt, building self-esteem, and addressing addictive behaviors and chronic stress. This episode is packed with insights for anyone looking to understand and manage depression better. Whether you're a professional or someone personally affected by depression, you'll find valuable tools and perspectives here.
