Laughing Through the Darkness: Comedians Tackle Depression

You don't have to have the grand plan that everyone thinks they have, and a lot of people don't have that.
In this heartfelt and humorous episode of 'Soberland', comedian Lindsay Cowan teams up with her friend and fellow comedian Jason King to talk about their personal battles with depression. They dive into their experiences with antidepressants, sharing both the challenges and the small victories that come with managing their mental health. Lindsay reveals her recent struggles with an increased dosage of Zoloft, which led to some uncomfortable side effects, while Jason recounts his zombie-like state on Lexapro.
Both comedians stress the importance of finding joy in the little things, like completing a simple task or indulging in a favorite hobby. They also highlight the power of acknowledging negative thoughts without letting them take control. The episode wraps up on a lighter note, with a fun discussion about their favorite reality TV shows, reminding listeners that even in the darkest times, there's always room for a bit of laughter.
Whether you're grappling with depression yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers relatable insights and practical coping strategies to help navigate the ups and downs of mental health.
