Season 4, Episode 17: Why depression changes the way we think

Depression can affect much more than our mood. It can change the way we see ourselves, other people and the world around us, making it harder to recognize possibilities, find motivation or imagine that things could get better.

In this episode of Living Fully, Marcus Cheung, Registered Social Worker and Associate Director at Calgary Counselling Centre, talks about the connection between depression and our thoughts. He discusses the common thinking patterns that can keep people feeling stuck, as well as how depression can contribute to isolation and affect our relationships and everyday lives.
