James Withey—Can We Really Tell Depression to ‘Jog On’?
What if we separated our idea of depression from the person? In this session James encourages us to do just that and to meet depression with an emotion that will enable you to attack it! We also explore how suicidal thoughts become a logical process. During the episode, I was struck by the notion that a mental health illness is a life threatening illness, which currently impacts the lives of 1 in 3 adults in the UK.
