In episode 9 of "The Private GP," we welcome Alya Shakir, noted psychologist and mental health advocate who brings her insights and strategies on the topic of depression. Exploring the multifaceted nature of this prevalent mental health challenge, Alya provides a comprehensive guide, debunking common misconceptions and illuminating the path towards healing and empowerment.
Starting from the key question, "What is depression?", Alya helps us unpack the nuances of the condition. By distinguishing it from typical sadness or grief, she identifies depression as an illness, not a personal failing, and underlines this crucial understanding as a necessary step for healing.
Alya further addresses the stigma that exacerbates the isolation and shame often associated with depression and the importance of seeking help and engaging in self-care activities.
