This week we are talking with a person who has journeyed with depression, Katie. This is the fourth instalment in our series on depression. Katie has been suffering with depression since early in life and today she shares how it has impacted her life and now in the present where she is at in that journey.
In this episode, Katie talks about how depression impacted her as a young person, how it affected her relationships with school friends, how it impacted her life and caused a lot of isolation, the quality of services available to help those with depression, the stigma around depression, how peers can help those going through depression, and her strategies in managing her depression.
"It was very isolating really because my friends, they were all going off and doing things and started going out to parties, stuff like that, I just didn't feel able to." - Katie on this episode of Wellbeing
Tune in next week when we talk with Dr. Dan Tomasulo about depression recovery through positive psychology
