It's how you live your life, and it's way more complex than to be solved at the bottom of the cliff with any form of medication.
Ever felt trapped in the murky depths of depression and anxiety? Brent Williams knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Brent, who has chronicled his battle with mental health in his graphic novel, *Out Of The Woods: A Journey Through Depression and Anxiety*.
Their conversation isn't just about Brent's story; it's a candid discussion on how depression can creep into every corner of your life and what you can do to find your way out. Brent opens up about the subtle ways depression can manifest, often going unnoticed until it permeates everything. He stresses the importance of getting a proper diagnosis, sharing his own experience of trying various treatments before finding one that truly helped. Therapy, for Brent, was a game-changer.
He talks about the isolation he felt during his darkest times and how a long-term commitment to therapy played a crucial role in his recovery. He highlights the need to find a therapist who challenges you and the importance of being honest and committed to the process. The episode also offers practical tips for managing depression and anxiety. Brent found mindfulness to be more effective than meditation during his lowest points.
He also emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Engaging in activities that bring joy and staying present in the world were key components of his healing journey. This episode is a powerful reminder that dealing with depression and anxiety is an ongoing process. It provides valuable insights and practical advice for anyone struggling with mental health issues, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans and continuous support.
